I believe the point that Cody is trying to make (Cody please correct me if I’m wrong) is that the $60 price point is often held up by publishers as a justification for micro transactions. The fact that games still only cost $60 to buy, despite inflation and increasing development costs, actually gives that excuse some legitimacy.

Cody is saying that by increasing the price tag to $70, publishers will no longer have that excuse to prop up their scummy micro-transaction practices. That won’t necessarily stop publishers from including micro transactions anyway, but their justification for it will look a lot less credible. THAT could possibly have an effect on public opinion > sales > future practices, etc.
