I mean, adjusting for inflation, prices going up isn't that surprising considering how expensive AAA game development is, though it still sucks shit since wages haven't kept pace and that money isn't going towards making working conditions better for those making them...
Another interesting thing is just how quickly games depreciate, not just with use but even with time. I ordered a AAA game from 3 years ago new for $7 this morning. that one XKCD comic about how staying a few years behind the curve makes gaming much cheaper really does hold true
