I think this doesn't really apply to games. Video games have had an incredibly sticky price.

The Legend of Zelda in 1987 was $50. Adjusted for inflation it would cost $151 today.

Diablo 2 released in 1999 at $50. Today that would be $101.

Diablo 3 released in 2012 at $60. Today that would be $88.

Diablo 4 released in 2023 at $70. Even this would be $77 today, despite being only 3 years ago.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom released in 2023 for $70.

I do agree that the lack of a secondary market is concerning, but I think that in practice subscription services, piracy, and F2P games fulfill the niche of low cost gaming (for now). Don't know what the future holds though.
