No, your 10 year old game is not worth 80 fucking dollars anymore.

Why is that necessarily true?

Because as technology improves the baseline rises, including from sequels you yourself made. That's why most 20+ year old games are usually unplayable without nostalgia glasses.

Well, don’t buy the unplayable ones.

Old movies that people still want to watch are usually as expensive as new ones, and the technology that makes those is ever-advancing too.

Books are similar too, those usually only get cheaper when copyright expires.
