$70 is a joke and one of the main reasons I have zero interest in a PS5 for the foreseeable future. Why the fuck would I pay $70 for Returnal when Hades is $25. Or $70 for Ratchet when countless quality platformers are half that price or less.
And yeah it’s true that generations ago, games were more expensive. When I bought my N64 my first game was Turok 2 and it cost like $74.99 plus tax. But it also used more expensive media, carts. And yeah, today that same game might cost $60, but it would also charge for content that would have been included back then, and it would sell to way more people than it did back then, which offsets inflation and higher dev costs.
Most games nowadays should be $50 tops considering how light they are on content or how much extra shit they charge you for.
But this is all subjective. I also wouldn’t pay $60 for a single player game that I will play once and discard.
