If it's non transferable and can be shutdown or deleted at any time, it should be a whole damn lot cheaper than a disc that can still be sold or used a decade later.

    In capitalism, the price of a thing is what someone is willing to pay. Games are marketed to kids with parents who can foot the bill or individuals who can afford it for themselves. They adjust their customer base with inflation, not their prices lol
