Yeah keep pissing off gamers. The pro consumer group that got lootboxes, battlepasses, denuvo, endless copy pastes and lazy remakes, nintendo and sony practises, shameless pay to win, day 1 on disk dlc, anti cheat that just blocks only linux users, not cheaters, kernel level anti cheat, ea and ubisoft clients on steam games and pay to win mechanics on already full priced games popular and successful.
Apple is NOT ready for the way gamers are going to make this practise normalized and profitable.
As a gamer I have very low respect for other gamers ability to organise any levels of resistance to shifty business practices.
How they actually spend their money never lies. They moan, but they still pre-order shit like gibbering apes.
Doubt I have paid full price for a AAA game in like a decade at this point. Not even many that I bought. Does shadow of mordor count? I got that at a massive discount ages after release. It was ok, but I would want my money back if I had paid full price.
