Two points I would like to point out of to you regarding your post. First would be that people were willing to pay $25 a pack for CL because splinterlands was the "IT" TCG crypto game of that bull run and every content creator and their mother were talking about splinterlands everywhere. That is definitely no longer the case. The only actual talk of splinterlands on Youtube is by content creators that were here from the start of the game or during 2021. The $25 price for CL was also able to be earned back with no issue at DEC was so far above peg and SPS was near a dollar. So people were comfortable with spending that kind of money on a game that had incredible hype and was paying out a decent amount.
And as far as rebellion not selling that wasn't only due to the overprinting of CL but due to the community basically losing all faith in the game itself and the team. After multiple missed promised deadlines and fear after the team having two major layoffs. More then anything I would say sentiment kept people away from Rebellion. The mass exodus of a large number of players also had people things this game was on a crazy train to zero.
Just my thoughts though and what do I know
