This is far too broad a question for a global market. They're already $80+ in some countries. Generally speaking though, games are far too cheap for their budgets nowadays as it is quite often. It's a fine line to walk, but gamers are too stubborn to pay more than $60 when historically they're the cheapest they've ever been in the US. We keep yelling about pre-ordering being a problem but collectively if we all calmed down and STOPPED buying unfinished AAA games every year, publishers would have no choice but to either cut back budgets, delay games to finish them correctly, or raise the prices to match budgets and bring on a bigger task force.

No solution is an easy one to this issue though, and we're all collectively too entitled to pay more or wait for our favorite series' next game, so we'll keep paying $60 for unfinished games for years to come.

I mean like 80 USD (games are already 80$ here in Canada). And of course I've laid out what exactly the terms would be, in which we'd get all content present and future for free.

Oh no I wasn't bashing your premise, I just meant that in general no solution is gonna work out nicely with something like this. Obviously I'd love to pay $80 on some games for an ultimate season pass edition (that's actually a steal, considering the DLC is often partially an attempt to recoup costs of overall development). I was just digressing into a broader statement about gamer entitlement as a whole! 



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!
