I have a PS4
I can pay Sony to take a cut from the developer.
I can pay Amazon and Sony to take a cut from the developer.
I can pay retail stores to take a 50% or more cut, and then Sony takes a cut.
I can regain some of the cut that I paid to a retail store, so that the developer gets nothing, by selling it on Ebay or craigslist.
You are always buying the game from Sony, and Sony is always getting their cut. Your options are whether to involve other rent seekers or to just fuck over the developers completely.
