      They are retroactively applying the new pricing model to games that have been out for years. That’s what I meant. So they’re not back-billing for previous downloads, but already-released games don’t get grandfathered in.

      I’m always open to corrections though.

        Games that have been out for years arent going to hit the minimum 12 month downloads/revenue figures unless they are still very popular, no?

        I dont agree with this downloads based fee to be clear.

          Yeah, I’m not 100% sure. There are instances too though where someone gets a new PC and installs their old games. I think it would still count in those cases, which is just silly to me. It all feels like a massive cash grab, or they’re trying to fudge the stock value.
