I value you a McDonald's meal at about $5. I do not value the dump I take later at $5, but would still pay $5 for another meal. I am not any less satisfied with my purchase. I have consumed it. There is a difference.
And you addressed my math by admitting I was right. There would only be X number of games that could ever be sold. This means there is a cap on the industry, and it will die. You can say it won't happen for X number of years, but that is irrelevant. It is in the publishers best interest to make you want to buy his next game. So in addressing my point you have conceded I am correct. I did not expect both.
