    “Charges 30% fee” “That’s too high! You’re ripping us off”

    “Charges 10% fee” “That’s too low! No other platforms could hope to compete against you with that!”

    This is nothing but people bitching about nothing for the price gouging. I will give merit to the anti competitive nature if game makers aren’t allowed to have their games listed for less at other stores. As far as add on game packages locking you in goes…that might be a technical minefield to ensure compatibility.

      Conspiracy theory here…

      Maybe this is an initiative by competing platforms? Epic? Ubisoft?

      Stir some shit, hope to get valve in legal issues so that they’re legally forced to become less competitive and therefore creating a chance for these other platforms?
