This ignores the cultural/community value of games. Games have more value when other people are also playing the game. They don't lose all of their value over time, but, like watching a TV show as it is airing and having the shared experience of talking about it with others, video games also have a shared experience time frame.

This doesn't just apply to multiplayer games either. There is value in the active community conversation surrounding games like Expedition 33, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, etc.
