My main gripe against the forced agency contract is that it wasn't instituted to help authors or their own business but was implemented solely to attempt to harm another business. If they really thought ebooks were underpriced they could simply have raised the wholesale price they charged retailers for them. I also approve of businesses competing for customers and disapprove of anything that hobbles that natural competion. I don't like businesses that should be competitors getting together and conspiring to avoid competing with each other.

I assume that you keep replaying Skyrim, so at least part of that value comes from your willingness to re-live the same (or similar, as obviously Skyrim can offer a few different play experiences) more than once. I'm pretty pleased with the entertainment value I get with a solid 800 page fantasy book for 9.99 too, more so if like it enough to re-read it.
I also used to put a lot of time into Skyrim... until I took an arrow to the knee.
