I think one issue is that $60~ is still the ceiling for a game's value. Even though the time, work/money that went into a modern game like Resident Evil Remake 2 was probably significantly more than for the original game.
Games generally cost a lot more to make these days, but they can't charge more for them.

So when people look at the value of a game, they'll inevitably compare it to $60 games. Some of which should cost a lot more.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. I just feel like content volume is a very superficial way of gauging a game's value, and one that tends to bias one against smaller developers who just may not have limitless resources to work with. Untitled Goose Game is a more creative and funny game than any AAA release I've played all year! I know that that's a more subjective measure of quality than some others one might employ, but I can't help feeling that it's just as valid. I know I'll replay this game many times and probably remember it better than most other games I've played of late. It's brought me a lot of joy.
