Lots of folks in this topic are using "devs" when they really mean "publisher" - it's important to distinguish the two. Monetization decisions are pretty much always made at the publisher level so if you want to talk about someone shitting on customers or being greedy, that's who you should look at. Devs are artists - nothing more and certainly nothing less.

Other than that I don't really see any fault in anything anyone's arguing here on either side, which is precisely what makes this such a muddy issue. FWIW foolmo is absolutely right that the "real" value of AAA games should rightfully be closer to $100, though I'd argue more like $80 personally. That said, games have been utterly devalued simply because it's so easy to get an effectively infinite amount of entertainment for next to nothing, so any "real" solution isn't feasible without a ton of outrage.
