Gamers are seemingly the only consumers who think shit should just never go up in price. I think it's because gaming is a unique consumer electronics industry that experienced a massive amount of market growth/tech innovation in the 90s-10s and it's conditioned gamers to always expect those trends to continue even though it was an artifact of an early growth phase.
The downstream consequences of those sticky expectations is that gaming is increasingly dominated by free2play gacha shit and lacking in innovation since investors won't fund ambitious projects as they won't see appropriate returns because the price ceiling is arbitrarily capped. Obviously a game that's literally The Matrix should cost much more than $80 to see returns on its investment and I would happily pay those returns for such an incredible experience.
>but what if the $100 game is mediocre
Then just don't fucking buy it. There are lots of products I consider a waste of money. I don't go on a moral crusade every fucking time because I'm not a sour grapes faggot that thinks I am personally entitled to purchase every single product ever released.
