Inflation is a thing, sure. But we should keep in mind that over the past decade some costs have universally disappeared for video games.

Publishers no longer have to factor in media production costs, shipping and handling to retailers, or (sometimes) giving retailers a cut.

Some publishers (like Nintendo and Sony [on PlayStation]) sell direct to the consumer. So there are no retail costs. If you sell on Steam, they take a 30% cut.

I suspect you don't understand how this works. You create an account on any lemmy.site and you can access communities on every lemmy.site. So my account is on lemmy.fmhy.ml, but I can subscribe to communities on Beehaw or lemmy.ml.

I wouldn't count licensed music, personally.

The Deus Ex theme is indeed a banger.

$70, I guess this is the world we live in now. Can't wait for the next price hike!

I guess I'll become a PatientGamer™
