No one "jacked up the cost of anything". HD gaming is just generally more expensive. And thats cause it needs more expensive talent. The day nintendo makes a zelda that looks like the wither 3 or horizon or FF15 (not just in scale or scope but also in fidelity) let's have a chat with them and see if they were able to accomplish it with anything under $50M and in anytime under 2 years.
I also don't agree with the anti consumer claims, but I respect that everyone has where they draw their own lines. For me, the only anti consumer thing I can see now are games on PSN still costing $60 when on Amazon or GameStop the physical copy of the game can be had for as little as $30-$40. And maybe I would have looked at having to pay for online as anti consumer if that was the reason I actually pays for a PS4+ subscription. But generally I feel if you have the option of choice, then it's not anti consumer.
