I can't remember the last game I paid full price for, but I can guarantee you it wasn't a AAA game.
Baldur’s Gate 3
In the 2000s, before Steam or other online stores were a thing, and while I still bothered with a console, I was hitting up used game sections at various local stores. Main difference between that era and now to me is that there's a better selection online, and prices are indeed cheaper if you don't care about playing AAA games. I don't understand how anybody "struggle[s] to find new games" as the article claims.
There used to be an online store called GoGamer.com that sold nothing but physical copies of games. I have sooo many games boxes on my gaming shelf from them.
Elden Ring, good gake but my least favorite from soft game. Should have got it on sale.
You know what, that was the last game I paid full price for as well, but I was buying it as gift for my nephew & didn't think about that until you mentioned it.
I've never even played it.
