    Oh my lord. The problem isn’t the pricing!!! If you feel like you can’t sell your game for $55 on just Epic so you must sell it on Steam too but for $70, there’s a problem with your product and/or service. Not Steam. Epic tried the “1 year exclusivity” for a couple of games, like Borderlands 3 did that. People simply didn’t buy the game. Was the game cheaper? Nope.

    See my point? Steam had zero hand in people rather not buy a game than installing Epic.

        So? They could’ve sued for anything, doesn’t mean they’re right.

        They sued for the money issue because they either can’t comprehend that consumers don’t like what they’re providing, or they (the companies) simply don’t want to invest in improving it so they start pointing fingers instead. That’s all it is.

          No, they sued as an answer against Valve’s threats and actions, nothing really to do with customers, but Valve using it’s power to dictate how they can sell their product in a way that does not create competition against Valve.

          It’s literally called anti-trust lawsuit.

          EDIT: Honestly dude, I think we should just agree to disagree and finally end this convo. You’re obviously not convincing me and I’m not convincing you, so it’s a dead end of back and forth.
