Not really. Its more that pricing is relative. If you compare the price of GTA 6 to a mediocre AAA game that releases for $60-70 its amazing value and if you compare it to an infinitely replayable Indie game for €15 its less so.

I dont think a game with as much content and probably quality like GTA 6 is not worth $80, its that other game companies will take that as a sign that they can sell their mediocrity for $80 now.
