yes they are for me, in the past, let's say n64, i had to pay even more for my games (except nintendo's own games) than nowadays and we are now over a decade later with the whole world beeing more expensive. sure cartridges did cost some money but i still see no reason why a game from nowadays should only cost the same or even less.
if people don't want to pay the full price, wait until you get it for the lower price. you can't or don't want to pay it at release? then buy it an year later, what's the problem? that's what i always did with movies because for me, a blu-ray was always too expensive at release but that doesn't mean that the system is shit or whatever, just that the price isn't right for me but for others it is.
if people say 39 would be a fair price i could also ask why, because 19 sounds even better and hey, 5 sounds better than 19, why not releasing all games for 5
is it fair to take 3.50€ for a coke in a restaurant? not for you? than don't go in the restaurant and if you think the rollercoaster costs too much for 3 minutes fun, don't go to that rollercoaster, other people think it's fair.
