With a New console, you have to be aware of the likeliness of a higher price, which is the case here. EA announced it'll be selling games for a little bit more, but what other companies will begin increasing the prices of their games? I support developers, but at some point it's too much.
Solution? Instead of buying every new game, try to buy the game you really want, and then wait until the other games go on sale. Most games will be reduced, and you can count on the "Game of the year" game to go on a sale, which would be a lot cheaper price for the game and DLC.
This may be hard for some people. I plan on buying the PS4, Watchdogs, and Madden 25 on release. After I buy those, I plan to play them until other games get cheaper. I might wait for a few days on madden 25, to see if EA actually changed something this year, which personally I think they have, but I can never be sure, I've been fooled before.
The only way to make sure they don't start selling games for $100 (it'll happen some day) is if we stop hyping every game that is released. If I can play a game for 1000 hours, but it cost $100. I am okay with that, but I will not buy a game for $100 that I will beat in 15 hours.
When I am buying games, I figure out how many hours it'll take me, then if it's reasonable, I buy it. I bought Play Station plus, so I am counting on by time I beat Watchdogs and play the heck out of Madden 25. The Plus gives me a game or two that I could play to continue my gaming hobby.
You don't need every game that is out there (unless you can afford it), but I wouldn't completely take out all games on release. Some games are worth the money, while a lot of them aren't. Look into a game before you make a major purchase.
