I LOVE GIGGS said: Are third parties really losing sales by offering "Play Any Where"? What is the percentage of people that buy the same game twice? I'don't think the extra money they get from selling it digitally is bigger than the money they lose from people who'll buy one copy instead of two. Hence, more profit. |
I think they won't lose sales. I mean, like you said, who would buy the game twice otherwise?
It should rather help devs. It can increase the amount of digital sales since it only works for digital game purchases if I understood it correct. There will be some who buy it only digital instead of physical because of this and that is obviously much better for the publisher.
Only real problem is for Ubisoft and EA (well, and Blizzard) who have their own services and don't want to sell less on thier own one b/c of the Windows 10 store. But at least Ubisoft already releases games on Steam.
