And with board and card games there were no restrictions, because the game itself was a complete object, as with paper books. With video games, and eBooks, what you have is not a complete object, it is software which requires a device to make it operable. It is comparable, the change just happened decades ago for video games. And, as with eBooks, most games end up on most systems, but there are some big name exclusives which are worth spending the money to make exclusive.
