“hurr durr nobody else has does it yet so clearly it can never happen”

Nobody else has 70%+ market share. The others are all competing for a bigger slice, they can’t afford to be predatory.

The market leader can and the rest will follow suit. Haven’t you seen overdraft charges (just now having laws change…decades after becoming a problem), minimal interest rates on savings accounts, ads in streaming services across the board, a reigning in of account sharing based on IP addresses for streaming services…

I get that you just can’t imagine a world where your game library is RIPPED out of your hands after a 30 day notice of service changes… i’ve seen it happen time and time again for various platforms and games. Digital services can and will fuck you eventually.
