Back then, the game was still selling for the same price as it is today, which is untenable from a business and financial standpoint. Ultimately, it should probably be priced at a minimum of $59 to protect against future inflation and bring pricing more in line with industry standards.
You are correct. And this is most likely the last year the game will be priced at $39.99. It has been like that for basically a quarter century now, and enough is enough...

PS: I don't like subscription models for games...
