Inflation is a poor metric to reason a cost for anything today vs years past.$60 in 2005 would be $78 in 2020, adjusted for inflation. And art budgets haven't decreased in that time frame.
When asked whether the $69.99 price point represented a new standard for 2K's console games, the representative kept the focus squarely on today's pricing decision. "2K’s suggested retail prices for its games are meant to represent the value being offered," the rep said. "With nearly endless replay value and many new additions and improvements only possible on next-generation consoles, we believe our updated suggested retail price fairly represents the value of NBA 2K21."
With the level of game selection available and the size of my backlog, I can't ever fathom paying $70 for a game, let alone $60. Shit, I think the most expensive game I've purchased in recent memory was $30. Way too many sales and gaming sites nowadays to ever pay full price.
