    Inflation ate it all. $60 in 2005 would be almost $100 now. Hell even from 2015, $60 would be $80 scaled for inflation.

      The savings happened before 2005.

      Also, software is a volume business. They have far more customers now to cover those costs. This is why a lot of tech doesn’t follow general inflation trends.

      Or, you, know, if the market doesn’t support high budget games, then don’t make high budget games.
