@ben @preya @guenther Monopoly implies there are no other significant players in the space, and so the monopoly's actions set the terms. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Epic, Electronic Arts, and about 15 other franchises beg to differ. This is the opposite of monopoly - the first recent competition to Playstation/Xbox/Switch *without* draconian hardware-based copy protection. It's a real alternative in an environment that badly needs alternatives. They're competing on innovation and quality, not copy protection and lock-in, and I hope it sets the trend.
