Games have been $40-$60 dollars for three decades now. Meanwhile, I have watched cinema tickets triple from $3-$4 to $9-$12 in same time frame. Tickets to events such as concerts and sports seem to go up $1 every year or so now that $30-$40 is normal, much less theatre and opera that can easily surpass $100 for an evening.
If anything games are becoming a better value than they were when I was a kid. I am surprised rumors of $70 have not started, but I guess DLC is sort of that.
