While I wish you were right, something tells me that even with an 80-100$ pricetag it'll still be one of the most successful games ever released.
Look at diablo4, for example. 70$ base game, 90 for deluxe, and 100 for ultimate plus mtx in the store at stupid prices. And apparently it's sold over 6 million copies and made over 600 mil in revenue in the first week. And it's not even a good game, in my opinion.
I'll shamefully admit that I would've bought Diablo IV at launch. But the dealbreaker for me was when they made it online-only, like Diablo III. Good preventative measure.
