They rolled back the $80 increase when they noticed that people weren’t going to buy Outer Worlds 2 at that price point. They then confirmed that their games will stay at $70 for the foreseeable future (ie. until a bigger player normalized $80 games).
I’d argue this is not really the case, and their strategy has shifted to increasing the price of actually “owning” games to be a premium experience, ie all their new games are now $80, making subscription prices seem more attractive

They walked back the $80 price point, but I definitely agree they’re trying to figure out ways to push people to gamepass. They just keep stepping on rakes
