So all goods end up being produced by monopolies? How does that track with the state of gaming at this moment? How does that explain smaller studios producing AAA-level games that are hits?



And who gets 30% of the take? I'll give you a hint… monopolies.

You mean publishers?

No. The storefronts you are required to sell on in order to actually reach people. No publisher? You still gotta sell on steam. That'll be 30%.

We have laws against monopolies, and we should use them. Too often, entities petition the government to create regulations that solidify their competitive advantage.

I wonder if Sony no longer making physical Discs will run afoul… as now the only place to buy a PlayStation game is on PSN, at the price they choose.
