It feels like something of a missed opportunity for them (Arm), I guess. I wonder what the stock value for Arm would be, if back in the day, they had come up with a business model similar to that which Unreal engine employs today.
E.g. we'll license you the architecture for free but customization and support will cost. What we really want though, is royalties generated by any and all ecosystems created or made possible by our design, at the rate of X percent of annual sales revenue generated by said ecosystem if and when the revenue reaches more than 0.65 bajillion dollars.
- panick21_ 3y agoARM could simply not have established itself as dominate if they would try to capture all that value, when there were competitors who wouldn't demand even more. If ARM makes the 'mobile phone' ecosystem possible, ARM should get money from each call? How would you even capture that. Not even the company who produces the phones gets that money. ARM already gets royalties on each chip sold.
