Supply & Demand is a bullshit economic theory srs

[disillusioned]

Consider for example digital goods. There is infinite supply so logically they should be either free or at least super cheap. But they are not. That isn't how supply and demand should work in theory and yet it does. And don't say "well it's because the people who made the product still need to be paid so that determines the cost" because that shit isn't true. Even old games who's companies don't even exist anymore are often released and lots of money charged for them, so that excuse doesn't hold up.

Honestly I think the economy is much more random than people would like to think and that 90% of economists don't know what they are talking about or are lying on purpose.

The problems with supply and demand theory actually go beyond this. Even in situations where there IS supply it often seems like prices don't go down for whatever reason. The idea that simply increasing the amount of supply automatically leads to lower prices doesn't seem to match reality.

Most of your post would take too much effort to bother untangling. But this part is straight forward. The copywrites on the games still exist, they were sold years ago to whomever is now selling the game.

The term of copyright for video games is no different than those of other media in the United States. Most popular video games are works of corporate authorship and have copyrights that will expire 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever expires first.

Copyright has nothing to do with this. The issue is supply and demand and how it affects pricing. Neo-liberal price theory is garbage.
