To those who say Octopath is not worth 60 dollars...

Kinda screwd point of view when we know that games were way pricier back then. 60$ isn't cheap, but by the laws of inflation, it kinda is now.

60 dollars for a game is cheap. 

Movie tickets average at 10 dollars for about 2 hours of entertainment. 

Games are able to give up to 200 times that, while only costing 6 times as much. 

Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Hulu are about $10-$15 a month and offer hundreds of hours of entertainment. Most games run 40 to 60 hours. If they are online there's a subscription service unless you play on PC. Then you have to pay upfront for the hardware to play them on. Considering that, games are priced about the same per hour as other forms of media. So no. Game prices do not need to be raised. 

The argument you are making is the same one put forth by "games as a service" CEOs. I've seen news segments where some corporate stooge is making the exact same argument.  And it fails completely.
