More people would be willing to drop a quarter or two into a game to pass the time, which also increases the chance the game will drag them in till they beat it. Who's going to casually drop $2 on the Jurassic Park gun game just so they can get killed in one minute?

When zero people are playing your games, profits can only be increased by lowering the price.
