How, is their platform. Devs can not just go (hey, i want to make this game for your iphones, but i want to sell it on my own).
Can only lock it down so much before you run afoul of stuff like this, tech companies run into this kinda barrier all the time, but it's usually with pre-installed apps and whatnot
(the next FF game debuts exclusively on the Square Shop on all platforms)
(games cost $70 on the Square Shop)
(it's got no friend list or game recording or pretty much any of the PS4 features you love)
(but you have to deal with it if you want to play the new FF because Square says so and because they know they dont have to impress you with the service because FF is ONLY here)
Them: fuck Squar-
Me: i t s j u s t a n o t h e r l a u n c h e r
Seriously tho if this does have console-side implications then I can't wait to see them play out
Do you ever think of anything else
