 Game Dev Story Guide ✍

|
To make a game for a console, you must first buy a license for it (except pc games), unless you make your own console. Often the more expensive and newer the console, the more money you will make with your game.
Once a console is removed from the market, you may no longer create games for it. If you make a new console, your old one will be removed. PC Game console will never be taken off the market.

Making Consoles
