Comment on Xbox is more expensive for developers too, as Microsoft bumps up dev kit cost [Eurogamer]

Absolutely boggles my mind that they would even consider this? I can’t imagine the amount raised would come anywhere close to justifying the damage done?

My understanding is that the damage from this specific move will be minimal, because everyone that wants to develop for Xbox already has a devkit. This is mostly just Xbox acknowledging that they are barely moving devkits, and devkits are getting more expensive because of tariffs, so they may as well raise the price on the devkits because they are gaining no benefit from eating the cost.
