    Lol at this point I wonder if it’s easier for Microsoft to just buy Unity like their other studios they’ve been buying. Then they get free installs and charge out to Nintendo/PlayStation.

    Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will see you in court Unity.

    Charging Playstation: They have been quite naughty (and not in the good way), so a few millions in cash is kinda like karma to them.

    Charging Xbox: Game Pass, Backwards Compatibility, Series S… If there’s a gaming giant that’s pro-consumer, it’s them (#2 to Steam, obviously), they don’t deserve it.

    Charging Nintendo: TAKE IT ALL

      I love gamepass/Xbox’s BC commitment but I’m not going to call Microsoft “pro-consumer” lol

        I’d call it, sucking up to the player base to regain market space lost during the last generation. I’m not too proud to take advantage of their desperation.

      Really bad policies that will set even worse precedents are not a punitive measure against companies you don’t like.

    Feeling pretty good STILL about my decision not to buy any consoles in the last 20 years. PC, my heart is yours.

      This reaction is like getting upset with Mexico for supporting the wall after Trump baselessly claimed Mexico would pay for it.

        I might agree if I could figure out the analogy you’re trying to make.
