Just list it on your own service or on epic if you have issues with trying to rip off steam gamers

[Duh]

When they control 90% of the market this type of behavior is considered Monopolistic. If Steam did not have that control of the market they wouldn't be able to bully companies that they also rely on to survive (30% kickback from each game sale). Do you really think that WB lowered their game price on steam to match parity to their competitors? More than likely they just raised the prices at the other locations to match the steam price. So who is ripping off Steam gamers? Steam could have lowered the prices on THEIR STORE THEMSELVES but instead wanted every other store to have the same high price as them in order to protect their bottom line. This is a company, not family, and they only care about the money gamers provide not the gamers themselves. Stop deluding yourself, big brother Gabe doesn't care about you
