Maybe stop making games that cost so much and pushing open worlds and realism. Indies and Nintendo games shows that games don't have to keep pushing such over the top graphics and huge open worlds. Just like how not all movies need a Marvel budget of special effects and CGI.

Nintendo is an interesting example to use, as their games famously don't decrease in value and honestly often sell for more than original over time.
