This lawsuit will have a side effect for video game consoles, if epic games wins it. That being sony, microsoft, and nintendo going back to no digital, but full physical game releases. All to avoid every publisher from opening their digital stores on their consoles.,(reply>), @Shenequa Neckface Can you help me find that Nintendo vs Tengen lawsuit? I've tried searching but I can't find the details of it. Curious to know more about the separate legal definition that consoles benefit from.,(reply>), Tencent would need to file separate suits against Sony and Microsoft and their legal task would be gigantic as they would need to override the previous precedent and that consoles are no longer distinguishable from general use computers. They would need to essentially demonstrate that the PS5 is indistinguishable  from a consumer pc. Which, I mean, I would love to see Tencent try and present people who used the PS5 as a desktop equivalency. I wanna see a business guy using the PS5 to trade stocks. Please,(reply>), ExLivingGhost incorrect as consoles enjoy a separate legal space from general computers thanks to Nintendo vs Tengen. Despite the NES lacking any sort digital storefront, digital storefronts on consoles in legal practice are no different than each manufacturers legally valid ability to deny and approve games to be available on their system. The store in consoles is allowed to be lockdown by the manufacturer pretty much totally. And actually even before this lawsuit there had been limited online distribution platforms so the concept wasn’t unknown. The Atari 2600 had an online downloading service for games.
