If 95% of the games aren't worth the price, then there is something wrong with that business model.

Yeah, a full priced game might not have had DLC or MTX, but it was more expensive adjusting for inflation and didn't have nearly the quantity or quality of in game assets as current games do.

And old games definitely chased fads, they were just different fads at the time fed in part by the differences in game economics.
