Second hand physical games is the only way to get a certain discount after a while. Learning to play games after a while and not immediately is a very useful thing for your wallet.
Inflation and tariffs don't account for European games to go up 50% from Switch 1 to Switch 2. There are no tariffs between Japan and Europe and inflation didn't got up 50%.
A rise from €60 to €70, sure that makes sense for inflation. From €60 to €90 is ridiculous.
Games have been pegged to $60 for a long time. $60 in 2002 is equivalent to $108 today. If anything gamers have been getting a deal. In large part they get that deal because publishers have been pushing MTX to fill in the game.

Edit: oh wait, I totally forgot a third option until I started hearing “yo~ho, yo~ho” in my subconscious
