Why does the price have to increase? As you said, if rising sales covers the rise in development costs, then also raising the price on a digital good that is infinitely reproducible at no extra cost is just double dipping. These game publishers make crazy profits. Prices for everything don't have to just keep rising perpetually.

Don't forget the drop in necessary production costs, tools have only gotten better and cheaper while corpos have valued less and less.
