I don't think it's even necessarily that the GPU pricing has ballooned. I think the main reason is that that every new game has to compete with pretty much every other game ever made. For example I enjoyed Death Stranding and I am interested in Death Stranding 2, but I'm probably not getting in on launch because there's a big chance I'll probably start playing Stardew Valley for the n'th time, because I feel like that's what I want to play. I'll probably play DS2 when I get the Kojima itch.
