Because game companies are looking out for the consumer and will not cave to big corporate interests and use "inflation" as a justification to raise prices

Lol they're like $90-150 now for the full game. $60 gets you barebones game experience and a la carte menu.

Those are only the gay FPS games. Elden Ring for example is a full game experience for $60

Fighting games have had over half the roster as DLC in ps4 era. It would probably be fine if you were able to select DLC characters in training mode without buying them so you can see how they play, but most don't even do that. Leaks are saying street fighter 6 will have an 'ultimate edition' at the $250 pricepoint

Production costs of the actual physical media (especially cartridges) and boxes were pretty high then. Back then the dev team would need state of the art PC’s which cost thousands in todays dollars.

$70 is the new $60. Sony was already at 70 and Microsoft just announced they’re going to 70 next year.

But as others have said box price is no longer the monetization strategy for many games. Several of the most profitable games in the world are free to play. But players are continually injecting cash for seasonal battle passes, cosmetic rewards, in-game consumables, etc.
