I’m actually not sure who this affects. Initially I thought maybe you were right, until I considered that indie devs have this workaround. But I don’t think AAA devs will be affected by this much, either, because they already have all the dev kits they need. I guess there’s a possibility that a developer might want to make something bigger than ever for Xbox, but that possibility seems lower and lower every day. Even if they didn’t raise the price on the devkits, we probably won’t see another huge third party game come out for Xbox. When I think about something like GTA6, I think either they already have all the devkits they need to complete a port job, or else they will just skip releasing on Xbox entirely.
