listen, i fully understand that people are gonna be frustrated at something getting more expensive, especially at a time like this. but the criticism is getting out of control, and it's leading to people misunderstanding the situation.

first of all, the complaints about $80 games seem a bit exaggerated given that most of the games AREN'T $80. plus, in america, physical games don't cost extra. essentially, you've gone from $60 games with the occasional $70 game to $70 games with the occasional $80 game. seems reasonable to me
here in the uk, we've gone from £50 games and the occasional £60 game to £59 games and the occasional £67 game. this is similar to american pricing increases
however, we have to pay an extra £8 for a physical copy of game. this is system is also implemented throughout europe
i'm kind of going on a tangent here, but my point is that the pricing increases aren't that crazy, and the americans complaining have it easiest - you're not the only ones with a poor economy, btw
however, it's not as if this is somehow the end of the world, including outside of america. sales and discounts happen, and other retailers will sell physical games below msrp. if you're smart with your shopping, you can save money
