There are other ways to watch movies.

When those delivered a sufficiently good quality experience, I stopped going to a theatre.

Control is one part of that. "Let's pause..."

Replay is another. Maybe watch it a few times for whatever reason.

Sharing is another. I still like physical media for this reason.

Games are similar.

Renting a game should cost less than one that can be replayed, shared, etc...

Keeping history is another good reason. I have media and games from times past, and I have the ability to share that experience today. High value.

Gaming and movies today? Definitely moving away from the higher value things, yet pricing often seems the same, or not in line with the lower value proposition.
