The BASE cost remains the same. They then started finding ways market a spreadsheets with of 'versions'. Then they added 'micro' transactions, battle passes, etc. Or they just shut down the old game so you have to buy the new version to keep playing.

And the cost of games has risen faster the minimum wage in the US.

So will all the multi millionaires and billionaires video games were making... I think $60 was more than fine for a large studio produced game.
