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.
