You’ve fallen for their bullshit economics. FF7 was a 4 disc release. I still have it, I can still play it. The cost of the medium, packaging, and distribution which used to be baked into the price has been gobbled up and distributed to shareholders, and now they want more. The corpos have convinced consumers their “AAAA” game dev costs are soooo high, and games are soooo big, it just has to cost $100 for a digital license or game development is in jeopardy.

That’s all bullshit. They can keep the size of games reasonable too if they were compelled to, but the burden of managing that has also been pushed to the consumer. Don’t forget it means you have to pay for high speed internet access (if it’s even available where you are) to download a fucking multi-hundred gig game. Fuck these pig companies. Fuck them.
