Raising the price of video games artificially by abusing their market position to force other storefronts to also raise their prices… Like the suit you didn’t read says.
Valve prints money doing next to nothing. Hundreds of people spend years of their lives building a fun game, and almost a third of the revenue just goes to the company who owns the server in the corner that said Dev team loaded it onto, themselves. Dev team sets the prices, Dev team makes all promotional material. What does valve do? Makes a couple graphics for their bimonthly big sales events theme.
What race to the bottom?
This was a game developer that made their own drm that was so successful they basically just stopped making games. They’re charge retail margin prices despite being able to sell thousands of times more copies from the same building footprint.
Epic games is losing money because they’re giving away hundreds of games instead of selling them. They’re trying to buy market share from the monopoly. Not from running the store itself.
lol i can already tell you were not alive pre valve if this is all you think it’s done
the race to the bottom of shit services being cheaper in the short run trying to compete with valve but once valve was say not there would be ripping you off, Epic specifically
boo hoo 30%
as to Epic operating at loss, i know how it works that’s my whole point
How?

in what world demanding price parity equals raising the price of video games artificially?
It’s called a cartel, it’s illegal, look it up, and stop being a fanboy for some corporation
stop acting like prices going down wasnt a play that long term wouldnt result in fucking consumers, stupid to trust ubi
how long has epic games been running on negative profits?
walmart was cheaper than local grocery stores once too
supporting a false race to the bottom is some silly shit
