Is it time to give up the 60 USD maximum price tag?

But they are far too few in number.

BotW is a masterpiece in game design, but for every game like it, we get ten or so mediocre releases.
And I get comparing any game to something of the quality of BotW is not really far, but we do need to try and move the medium forward.

I'd see that even a game that would be considered average/mediocre by some can be adored by others. Yes, we should try to get the best games possible, but as there are a wide variety of tastes, there are going to have to be different objectives suited to different audiences.

Just because Adam Sandler's movies are beloved by some, does not mean they move their medium forward.
Ubisoft is truly the Adam Sandler of the gaming industry.

I personally believe that each game should either:
Fully understand what itself is, and how to fill the required role (Nier: Automata does a bad job at this).
Push the medium in some form (Nier: Automata does a good job at this).

BotW does both, pretty much perfectly.
