Then why is Steam able to sell so many titles? Gamers are willing to pay, just not $50 a pop. Likewise with buying music. Not $20 for an album, but a $1 a song.

Just because at one point the gates existed to extort customers into paying such high prices doesn't mean such prices should exist indefinitely. Change the pricing models and get rich, people do it all the time.

You don't get to set the price to what you feel like, much as I wish that were true. I'd love to pay uniqlo prices for Saint Laurent.

You do though. You can exert market pressure by not buying when the price is too high. And you can pirate, in fashion as in entertainment. You may not want to, but you do have that option.
