It can't be a poor valuation of work, unless you subscribe to a labor theory of value. Our current economic system does not.

Things are only worth what people will pay for them.

That's true, except the bit where there's plenty of evidence to support the theory that people are willing to pay more than a dollar and change for a game.

But you don't know if these people would or not. Also, I've payed $50 for a game in the past, but I'm not sure that I would any more.

These people maybe not... but how does that matter? The 6,000 people that bought the pack are just a tiny portion of the gaming market.
