I'd say yes if console makers would force all 3rd parties to not directly advertise how to create an account with them and pay through their own means for a subscription when needed instead of the console game store.
I'd say yes if stores with their own store brands would force producers of 3rd party products to always pay a 30% cut and disallow the consumers from being able to purchase the product at a different place of their choosing.
- scarface74 4y agoConsoles have forced third party game makers to pay a license fee for every physical game sold since the 80s no matter where you sold the game.
- piva00 4y agoMy example was about subscriptions, no console maker takes a cut of a subscription to a game done through the game publisher's own servers/service. No console maker takes a cut from sales of digital items done through the game's platform. You are moving the goalposts, licencing is a well established practice and only interferes with the sale of the initial product: the game, not subsequent upsales where the console maker has absolutely no interaction with, just like royalties for IP and so on, it's another broken analogy...
- scarface74 4y agoWhich console makers allow you to have subscriptions that you pay for outside of the game?
- piva00 4y agoFinal Fantasy XIV for example.
