Usually, but not always. Some 5-10 year old games are still north of $50. The price for some movies and TV series has gone up rather than down over the years.

Luckily, as you said there's so much out there that as long as I don't get too picky there's more than enough available without paying gouged prices.

I actually got some somewhat more recent AAA games from GoG (a store which I favour because of their No-DRM rule, though there's a handful of games were it's "kinda") and I literally can't get around to them because I'm just enjoying 15 year old games or Indie title as I tend to favour open-ended games.

Why should I buy, say, "must register and log-in to Rockstar services" Red Dead Redemption from Steam if my entertainment needs are fully fulfilled already and there's even a backlog of "bought them but haven't got around to try them" games (including stuff like Prey) plus a bunch of Indie infinite-replayability games (like Terraria and Rimworld) which I haven't played for long enough now that they're fun to play again?

This is not just to illustrate the point: I'm genuinely not getting around to play something like Prey, much less buying the original God Of War (available from GoG hence DRM-free, unlike Ragnarok) because I keep just having fun from a mix of really old games and far less "graphically impressive" open-ended Indie games.
