That’s why Ubisoft could sell their games for 30% cheaper on their own platform
good for them. they can fuck off and sell their shit on their platform exclusively.
that 30% that valve takes? that’s the cost of business working with valve. that’s the fee to have access to their delivery platform, their inventory control system, their large consumer base.
it melts my brain to attempt to comprehend how anyone can complain that a company is literally charging for their services AND have TOS to back it up.
TOS aren’t just legal by default. If Valve are indeed saying that they will delist Ubisoft games if they sell their own games elsewhere for cheaper than they do on Steam, that will absolutely get them in trouble with the law. That’s classic anti-competitive behaviour. It’s abusing their market position.
