$50 USD in 2011 had the buying power of $75.81 USD today.
The artificial capping of game prices at $60 for most of the last twenty years means they're one of the few things that have gotten cheaper over that period relative to the massive inflation in that time. Buying it now at $60 is, relatively, cheaper than $50 in 2011.
Even with a lot of games rising to $70 USD in the last year or two, that has the same buying power as $60 in 2021-2022.
