Online/MMO things do this today! Destiny 2 for instance actively removed areas from _paid_ expansions. WOW updated away the game that people liked and paid for and over a decade later decided that it was actually worth the trouble to give back what they had removed, purely because they judged they could re-sell it. And, as the GP posters described, every time there is an update or expansion the value of existing items depreciates.
