good grief. what a god awful analogy. |
it's a perfect analogy
BD is the only mass market disc format with enough space for gen 8 games, so that's what MS has to use, while windows is the only mass market PC OS (and comes with the right tool set for games), so that's what devs have to use for PC games
the BD Association collects some license fees for using BD and MS some for using Direct X and the like, but both of those are pretty much scraps and don't even begin to compare to the massive fees for console games (or for Steam sales or Apple App-Store sales and so on, which are legitimate "eco-systems")
you are just calling it "god awful", because it hits home
