If that's the case, then why are console games so damn expensive? I was shocked to see how much the latest AAA title costs on disk/store
Console users now
- Don't get a price subsidized console
- Have to pay an online membership
- Pay the premium for any games released on the platform
How could anyone ever justify getting triple taxed!
It's not price subsidized, but the margins are very thin on the hardware. So maybe it's not a triple tax. But it's still a massive tax.
Valve is insanely profitable with only a single tax on generally much lower base prices. Nintendo is in a whole different league.
