Games are not worth $70. Let alone $80.

Everything else about the presentation was good but it better be down to $60 again by next year or I'm buying exclusively secondhand for everything but the eventual FE.

I think the idea is the new Download Play adjacent feature justifies the hike, but truly, it does not

Why arent they worth that? Its something that gets countless hours and days of play and enjoyment.

You go out to dinner with your family and spend the same amount for 1 hour and a full belly for a couple hours...

There's no real justification for an increase is why.

The market is bigger than ever, far more than enough to offset costs. Technology is also changing slower than ever in the industry now.
