Purchase a game console, why shouldn't the store remain functional indefinitely?

Yes, I get operating costs for your store front, but the standard should be, _if you are operating a market it should not be yours to control_.

Monopolies are bad in all forms, game stores should be operable by anyone, period.

And yes companies can protect themselves by disqualification of warranty for 3rd party stores, but that should be the consumer's choice, not some arbitrary CEOs decision.

We should buy your product because it offers something worth buying, not because you needed a subscription to bump your numbers...
