Agreed. There is a much larger market available now than there has been in the past. The increase in cost can be justified and negated through many various arguments.
The core issue is as always profits. An average joe doesn't want to have to pay more than he feels he should have to. The companies releasing the games want/need to make as much money as they for many reasons beyond just lining their own pockets.
The main problem I have with the current industry is if the damn game sucks... They should refund me the cost, time, and sometimes effort wasted dealing with their issues. Typically these are the games where the users have to debug the companies game to figure out exactly what the hell is wrong. In some cases, taking months for the company to resolve their products issue. That is if they will do anything at all once they've made their buck from you.
