Yet another way in which Apple is undercutting developers and preventing them from profiting in a space where Apple wants to make money.

- SalimoS 8y agoNo, as a user having the Xbox game pass (the same service for xbox by Microsoft ) Im now discovering new indie games that I’m 100% sure wouldn’t buy to try them :)
- onlyrealcuzzo 8y agoIf you think about it, game studios and movie producers are two of the only art businesses where something remotely close to the artist is able to make any money off the actual art. Musicians only make money off concerts, not selling music. Writers literally don't make money any more. And I'm not certain if there was ever a time actors or directors made money -- outside of the EXTREMELY successful. With Netflix really commoditizing the movie business, I wouldn't be surprised if the margin on movie production steeply declines in the near future. So, my point is, yes this sucks. At the same time, doesn't it seem like the natural order of things? I hope we can change the natural order of things. But maybe the value really is in the distribution and not production. As a self-described maker, it sucks to think that. But maybe it's the truth.
