    Nintendo and Sony are also a ripoff, which doesn’t make Microsoft’s implementation any less of a cash grab. As I said, what resources of theirs are you using in any of this process that would necessitate a fee to cover their costs? As you said you pay the fee to gain the ability to install your software on your console.

      Imagine calling letting people develop, test, and release their own games using their game console for $20 a “cash grab” lol. Unbelievable.

      The app developer license comes with full MS support btw. You’re paying for that.
