Games have also come up with additional monetization methods to increase the overall spend past $60. Things like DLC, Season Passes, Loot crates and now battle passes have increased the potential spend as a price discrimination strategy. CoD for example has "Cod Points", which are used to buy battle passes or skins putting the price at somewhere between $60 and thousands, somewhat similar to the approach mobile games take.

They also increasingly seem to be released in various broken fashions. AAA are not quite as bad at the perpetual "alpha"-ism, but still, many are quite broken at launch.

Things cyberpunk, BF 2042 in the same genre etc.
