      Indeed. The hardware renting isn’t free.

      But people often seem to think that games are locked to gfn. You’re just renting hardware to play games you own.

        Yes. I think you didn’t understand my point. Any software on a storefront like Steam where you have to pay money needs to pay the storefront. And my question is, if the NOW app is on any known storefront where they pay that price cut for the subscription.

          Where Valve (etc) would take a cut?

          I don’t think it would make sense for them to with steam. GFN is available everywhere steam is. They also don’t use app store billing services and payment isn’t made “in app.” So they aren’t paying either Apple or Google.
