    That’s how Xbox, PS, iOS and somewhat Android work. They all have their own store and don’t allow alternate stores, and charge a commision. I would like to see alternate stores but I doubt this lawsuit would make that happen.

      Nintendo is also like this. They keep games full price on their store years after release.

        Nintendo theirselves dont devalue their 1st party games, unless its a Nintendo Select title (which was last done in like 2016 towards the end of the WiiUs life).

        If there is a price drop, its usually brick and mortar lowering their 30% cut, as nintendo is more of a buy one get another on a deal. Nintendo only offers deals when they struggle (e.g 3ds got 20 ambassador games, WiiU mario kart 8 purchase gave you a choice between windwaker, super mario bros u, or pikmin 4 for free).
