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.
