It'll never stop working for the same reasons why Apple does business they way they do it. If you design your stuff a very specific way, only allow people to run software on your specific hardware, and also strictly control distribution, people will have no choice other than to spend what you're asking. And since people continue doing that, that's the reason why the new Zelda game is 70 Euro instead of 60, and why MK8 will never go on sale below 20% off

It only really stops working when people go "wait, I can buy Nintendo and pay 70 a game, or I can buy Sony/Xbox and GamePass/PSN Extra for the same price and have games all year".

It's especially a no-brainer if you have kids who finish games in a week because they have all of the time but none of the money.
