Although it's just anecdata, after spending $600 on the console, I certainly was dismayed to find 10-year old games only being sold at their original prices. Surely they should at least track inflation?

Perhaps Sony could add an optional tipping screen before digital checkout for the good customers.

Honestly, Sony should just retroactively bill consumers for inflation. Since $60 in 2016 is worth almost $89 today, they should charge all the people who bought the game back then a $29 price adjustment. It's the the only fair thing to do for.

If consumers don't like that option, an alternative can be a perpetual $5/year subscription that additional provides in-game stickers.

Another alternative is to just buy the used games and play them on the old consoles.

What else tracks inflation like that? Do movies?

Movie tickets are now easily $25 a seat.
