I came here to post this same thing… Except for a couple of holdouts like Square Enix, the notion of paying more for something non-consumable vs. consumable seems to be at an end in the software space.

I wonder if there's any economic theory on circumventing or avoiding a pricewise race to the bottom that would be relevant here.
