You are advocating for a game specific solution to a general capitalism problem. It would be much better to ban absurdly high profit margins in general than to be extremely heavy-handed in the game industry and let the problem continue in all the other areas where it actually matters a lot more.

This specific business model is a scam, regardless of which numbers we twiddle.
