Do we have a source for console makers getting $20/game? I find it hard to believe.
I think AAA publishers would rather pay fees bc it makes all the extra DLC crap look more reasonable. I am seeing many games trying for deluxe packs or “season passes” at $120-$200 Canadian. It already looks crazy as it adds 50% to 120% to the price, but it would look that much worse if the manufacturers managed to enforce a $40 up front price.
