Microsoft is definitely the anomaly.

Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Google, Valve, Epic etc all take their cut.

I was feeling sort of confused by me feeling like Valve and Epic were not supposed to be in that list.

But it’s because I have a choice. I can choose to use Valve, or Epic, or nothing at all.

Hell, I can even choose never to use the Nintendo store, and just purchase plain cardridges.

The same is not true for the others, but especially not for Apple.

Do you really think that Nintendo doesn't get their cut on plain cartridges?

...and the fact that everybody is doing it makes it good and right, right?
