    I agree that this is ridiculous. But I think the issue is that the “middle men” are the retail stores that are used to doing retail things like lowering the price of older goods. Digital storefronts don’t have anybody going over “inventory” and checking if it needs to be marked down. And corporations being corporations, they don’t care about this oversight. Why spend time/money on lowering the amount of money they’ll make?
