I'm sorry, but it's impossible that all those costs are only for licensing. Because it's not. There is no reason why would one random GT4 car in RR3 be more expensive to licence than that same car in GT Sport (actually it's more expensive than WHOLE GT SPORT!). Oh, sorry, there is one reason and its name is EA. I didn't say it was the only factor, I was saying it was one factor, and given the explosion of ESports, especially in the last year, manufacturers are starting to have a better understanding of the value of their intellectual property in that ecosystem. The video game makers are going to have to pay more to the manufacturers for licenses which means these games are going to only going to get more expensive for players to play.
