You have a point, but aren't developers already doing that now? $20 games are becoming more and more common, and I wouldn't call Serious Sam an inferior product. Its just not deep enough to warrant $50. I also don't think the $80 games would be that common, but instead be more like the $20 games are now. I think the added price we be more of an indication of a superior product, than giving the impression that the $50 games are inferior.
Its like going out to eat. Most of the time you go out to eat once you're older its to a sit down place, like Appleby's or Bennigans. But every once in a while you want to go to a really nice place like Le Bec Fin (Philly high class Frenchy). Now Le Bec Fin is a superior restaurant, but you don't really think of an Appleby's or Bennigans as inferior. Its still good, but doesn't have all the trimmings that Le Bec Fin has that ou are willing to spend that extra money on every once in a while.
Just because a select few things are special, it doesn't make everything else bad.
