If there are way more games than you have the time to play, then there's little justification for higher pricing for video games.
Whether you buy them or not, time is the premium, the only difference is whether the money involved in >your< sale goes to lots of developers or just a few.
But there's a twist: games are hit or miss. Since time is the premium, and there is no guarantee that a game will satisfy you, it makes sense that you can buy a large number of them, try them out, and only complete the ones you liked enough to commit time to.
It's hard to see how a system with fewer, more higher priced games would benefit the end user better than the current set up.
