When the competition is low, the platform holder can get a big share of the pie; as competition increases, they need to lower their part of the pie, as well. That's how the market works, right?" could be perfectly used to argue that since
"the amount of games that were released that year, in 2012, is the same number that are released in one month now on Steam. " the competition increased in gaming thus, game should cost less to be more competitive,
That's how the market works, right?.
All of this read exactly like everything I have ever read my bosses complain about.

cost too much ( for only giving us the visibility which allow us to survive in the first place )
Paypal taxe us too much.
Renting a server ? too much.
Why was I hired ? because the previous employe wanted a raise.
