    The part about another platform charging less and they passing the savings on to the consumer… Yea I’ll believe it when I see it. All these “pro consumer” arguments are usually just a masked way to keep more profits.

    Now, a middleman keeping 30% or even 20% seems high to me all over so it will be interesting to see it play out.

    The part about dlc purchased from competitors being incompatible is definitely anti consumer and should be challenged.

      Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m plenty sceptical about the whole ordeal. I just argue mega corps should be audited when there is even a wiff of impropriety.

      And I don’t understand the rabid defence of a corp like valve. Just look at the downvotes and the users defending valve. As if it’s their sports team.

      And even sports teams move to another city if the money there is better.
