Games are getting too expensive to make because they’re adding extra shit that no one cares about, not because of the cost it takes to make a decent game.
Part of it is that modern games are getting too expensive to make, especially with all the assets to the fidelity given by current technology.

It’s only expensive to make if studios decide to make them incredibly expensive. There are plenty of high quality indie games made by a single person.
The problem here is they went all in on “THE BEST GRAPHICS EVAR!!!” And it flopped because of the lack of story and gameplay. The lesson here is to not make it incredibly expensive to develop by focusing all efforts on graphics, and instead focus on gameplay and story and people will tolerate much less flashy visuals.
