I do like this wording and specificity.

I think "anti-consumer" gets thrown around too much. Another word/phrase whose true meaning has become basically destroyed by this generation/the internet (I hate to sound like a grumpy old man). Raising prices is not anti-consumer. Console/platform-exclusive games are not anti-consumer. iirc, luxury goods, such as video games, cannot have any element to be considered "anti-consumer", b/c they are just that - luxuries.

Charging $100 for a rice/potatoes/bread/etc while still having a surplus of rice/potatoes/bread/etc is anti-consumer. Like you alluded to, the public welfare has to be at stake. Not just gamers spending excess money.
