How do you figure that? EA, Activision, and Take Two control something like 85% of the game distribution industry. What they WANT is what we will GET.

And it goes much, much more deep than just digging at Gamestop. This will essentially kill rentals, used games, and any other revenue stream that doesn't flow directly to them and the console manufacturers.

EA has been looking at Zynga and Playfish - there's a reason they payed $750 MILLION for PopCap games.

The future of gaming is being nickeled and dimed to death...
