And yet games are way cheaper nowadays than they were back in the 90's. 2010 data:

Also interesting, a $50 PS1 game (normal price at the time) would cost almost $90 ($87.80).
So you can be salty all you want, but games are factually cheaper than in the 90's. Also, the increase by Sony was $10, correct?
2013 PS4 games at $69.99 = $78.18 in today's dollars. They are selling them at a $1.78 Premium while investing more and more.
The only argument is that Digital Sales cost the same as Physical Sales, and I wholeheartedly agree digital versions should be $10 to $20 cheaper.
Also, I used USD, but feel free to use your local currency.
