Someone is paying for games. What other B2C software is making money from the general consumer (besides MS) and not the “prosumer” who is buying software to help them run their business?

Just like someone is still paying for desktop software, in spite of piracy and SaaS.

All those small companies that manage to have their software exposed on shops like Saturn here in Germany, or do direct sales over their web site.

And just because it is B2C, Prosummer or used via a tablet plugged into a docking station, it doesn't stop being desktop software, from the points of view who's paying and selling it.

And regarding games, anyone with experience on the field knows how much harder it is to make any kind of living out of them versus regular desktop software.

The success/failure rate is much higher, with the large majority of studios never making any dime.
