Game Prices

I've been seeing a lot of people whining lately over the pricing of games.  One of the games I've been hearing about is Mass Effect 2 for the PS3.  Why do people think that since a game has been out for over a year that it shouldn't be priced at $59.99?  Did that whole year lower the quality of the game?  Are people today not going to enjoy it as much as someone who played it in early 2010?  This is a Game of the Year title we're talking about, not a crappy movie tie-in.  I think we have an uncontrollable mindset that time has some factor in the amount we are willing to spend on any game, when in reality we should be looking at what we get for the amount of money they're asking for.   
 
Another complaint I've been hearing is PC games getting jacked to the now console game price of $59.99.  Does no one remember the days of the Nintendo 64?  Did no one pay $80 for a cartridge game on that system?  I get it though, people don't like spending more money on a hobby when they've been set in their ways for so long.  Personally though, I kind of envy the PC gamer and would be one if I didn't have a dependency on the controller and my sheer laziness of upgrading my PC.  But look at all the stuff PC gamers get that console gamers only dream of.  Look at all the mods, the better graphics, the better precision for some with the mouse.   
 
I just wish people would look at the quality of a game before deciding whether or not to start a thread on how outraged they are by the price.  Why shouldn't we spend the high price tag on games that come from developers such as Bio-ware or Bethesda?  If you ask me I think a lot of games are undersold.
