 I don't feel squeezed at all. There's been a major period of global
inflation, and games have been $60 forever.
 (*Python accent*) "Grr. They should never raise prices! I'm being
oppressed!" Lol. 1st world problems.
 Besides, I was talking about willingly paying $120 for a CRPG 10 years
ago because of all the effort that goes into them and the sheer number of
hours you get out of them. The $60 price point had, IMO, literally harmed
the genre. And I explicitly quoted that price point as *before* DLC.
 People can and should accept this price increase.
 

The problem I find is that a lot of that content just isn't that interesting to me and also, depending on the game, I tend to get to twenty hours or so and feel that I've pretty much seen all the game has to offer so I want to move on to something new.
Saying that, none of this really matters to me personally as I just don't buy the big budget titles any more.
