[QUOTE="rehtroboi40, post: 240538, member: 1406"] Welcome to the boards Jeff! I may have to be corrected on this one, but apparently Sony does too. I'm not sure about Nintendo though. On the one hand, it helps to keep "junk games" out of their online stores. On the other hand, hard-working developers betting their success or failure on a single project have more hoops to jump through, and may not have the clout that an EA or Ubisoft might. But just like console operating systems or computer programs, they constantly will need updates for security and compatibility. Not to bag on Apple, but how many games om their app store become incompatible with each new OS released? And some companies don't even follow-up with updates. Thus, you spend money on an app which doesn't work, and you have to deal with support to get a refund. Who could fault console developers for wanting to avoid those headaches, especially when they're being increasing clogged with hacking problems? Now it may be easy to get games released on Steam, but who wants to play something like "grain of sand simulator"? [/QUOTE]
