Seriously start taking risks on "indie" developers. I know a lot of them aren't really indie - they're huge companies with dozens of employees in a lot of cases still, but you'll find they treat you better. Sure - that $20 game might not be quite as good, but in other cases, I've seen them be EVEN BETTER than $70 titles.

Unfortunately it is pretty obvious that the majority of the human population are just going to follow what they're told to buy via TV and Ads. There aren't enough of us to turn the tide right away, but hey -- stick to your guns, and tell others to as well. It'll take a bit for players to get well and truly fed up with this shit, but the tide will turn eventually.
