Game prices should not rise

[EricHiggin]

They can charge whatever they like. People need to take some responsibility themselves and learn. Though you'll always get burned from time to time regardless.

If It's a big AAA game, and it hits the mark, it's worth more. If it's a big AAA franchise that tends to hit the mark or exceed expectations each game, it's worth even more.
If it's a light MTX game, it's worth less. If it's a heavy MTX game, it better be F2P. If it's not an MTX game, and becomes an MTX, now they've crossed the line.

If you get hosed, it's tough luck but try and be more careful purchasing next time. Maybe wait a bit for a price reduction if you're unsure it'll meet your requirements.
If you think you way underpaid, buy some MTX, DLC or merch if it's available. Maybe buy the deluxe version for their next game.

The bigger the gaming market becomes, the more options for game devs/pubs exist. The more wealthy people who spend their money, the more devs/pubs will do to get that money, without entirely alienating the middle class and poor. Sometimes helping poorer gamers. MTX may suck to some, but it also allows for things like F2P.

If anything get's way out of control or simply goes too far for consumers, they'll eventually let you know with their wallets. It's not always immediate, but in today's world, it can be brought to light and solved much sooner than ever before. Either the pubs/devs legitimately explain themselves, or choose to illegitimately stand their ground on quicksand and sink. That's their game and their decision though.
