    if Valve is using their position to keep prices higher…

    I can literally go and buy games on sale at 50-90% off during any of the multitude of sale events that are constantly happening.

      But if it’s could have been on sale for even more through a different store that would have allowed the developer to get a bigger share of the sale, Valve won’t allow that.

      It’s not about there being sales. It’s about abusing market power for illegal gain.

        Isn’t that only if it activates on Steam? So an Epic, GOG, or old-fashioned game wouldn’t be affected
