Has gaming actually gotten more centralized? It's been three consoles+PC for a really long time, not much has changed.
There's also been a consolidation of game studios though. Now there's basically a handful of big ones like EA that bought up everyone else.
And there seems to be a sort of monopoly trust going on for the past 30 years, with companies agreeing with each other on what game prices will be across the board. They are even openly admitting that they are waiting for a big release like GTA 6, to raise the standard release price of games.

Price fixing had only been illegal for who companies that don't walk the billionaires’ line.
