Yes, it's super entitled to complain about prices rising when wages are stagnant and costs of more important things like y'know, food, rent etc. are already squeezing disposable income down to a minimum.

When PS3 was around, i aimed for £40 new as my goal. Still do really and to that end if you now say have £70, that's almost 1.5x the cost i would have purchased a single game for even during the PS4 era on a pre-order.

Personally am i happy to wait? Yes. However, after near a year, some titles had not drastically reduced down at all. Hell, Ubisoft titles notorious for dropping haven't had AC Valhalla drop below £20 in like a year. Similar for like RE7 Village etc. So it's not as simple as just waiting always.
