  Agreed. At least SOME of the games are coming to PC… Oh but they need all your personal information so you’re basically integrated into their ecosystem whether you like it or not.

  Astro Bot and the influencer community are doing most of the heavy lifting.

  I guess in a sense it does lead to competitors trying their best to compete and create better games than their contemporaries. In an ideal world, all games would be playable on all platforms, of course, but that’s just not realistic - either because of contracts or hardware limitations.

  Or greed lol

    No, it stifles competition because they can say “we don’t need to worry about competing with that game at all because you can’t buy it on this platform”.

    but that’s just not realistic

    It’s completely realistic. We just pass a law that bans yet another anti-competitive anti-consumer behavior.
