If the game store takes a lower cut, then either games will cost less, or they will be better because at least some of the game developers will choose to use the extra money to pay more employees to work on the game.
Also, if there are more stores it's less likely that entire categories of games will be unavailable to you (or available but worse due to reduced budgets) due to all game stores having rules banning them, and in general game stores are less likely to be able to enact policies that serve them at your expense.
- falcolas 6y ago> then either games will cost less They don't. The prices, between MTX and multiple release versions, have gone up if anything. > they will be better Pretty close to unuantifiable. What quantification we have, critic scores, aren't showing any movement in the ~decade since Steam got competition (Origin, GoG, etc). The only benefit seems to be for the shareholders and corporate executives thus far.
- belltaco 6y agoSo if Apple makes the cut 99% instead of 30% it would make no difference to the customer?
