Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.

Hard disagree. Games are substantially more profitable than they've ever been. The user base has gone up massively and manufacturing costs have gone down with the digital era.

Even when they raise the prices, they don't get rid of the battle passes and DLCs.
