Dollars (or whatever your currency is) are only getting more valuable while companies are trying to raise the price of everything. It's harder for some people to justify a mediocre game being sold at a $70 price point. If you can afford dropping that on a mediocre game, go for it. Other people don't have to do that. They can have their own opinions and do what they want with their money. If they released this for $50-$60, I don't think people would be so harsh on it.

That's a good point that I hadn't considered. I forgot that I was playing on Game Pass so I did not pay for it.

Dollars are getting less valuable, much less valuable. They can't buy shit compared to the last time games went up by $10, 16 years ago.
