$70 games ‘will go the way of the dodo’, believes Saber CEO. The former interim Embracer COO believes developers will move to reduce risk and costs (www.videogameschronicle.com)

I can’t think of a single recent game that I would consider to be worth $70.

Maybe BG3, but that's about it honestly.

That was the recent game that came to mind, spent 60 hours on my current playthrough and only starting act 2 (of 3 for those that aren't familiar). It's such a well done game, I'll gladly buy Larian games full price until their quality drops.

The funny one to me is Microsoft. Starfield and Redfall? $70. Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Hellblade II? Cheaper than that. They're telling people that they think quantity is worth more than quality.
