    He’ll walk in court normally, testify with simple and polite yes / no answers. Then when it’s all done he will bow and disappear in a puff of green Matrix themed smoke.

    Everyone in the courtroom claps and the prosecution drops the lawsuit. The judge then buys everyone in the room an OLED deck

    Well that’s standard for any court really. Nobody is above the court, well except politicians, to be fair, Wolfire does have a point with suppressing competition, its pretty much text book what any company does when they control a certain market. Steam does it on pc, their fans loves to do that when a competitor comes up. i mean look at their fans how they react towards epic. while ea and ubi? nah their stores and launchers just isn’t even worth a challenge to a installer. i believe nintendo and sony did the same but i may be incorrect, haven’t used a console in many years

    theres a number of other stores, and no one forces you to be on any store anyway. you can put the game on your own website.

    this should not be an anti-trust issue. you dont like steam taking 30% cut? dont go to steam then…

      The issue isn’t even The Steam platform, that i Gather

      Valve has a policy that Steam Keys Cannot be sold cheaper on other platforms

      However

      Developers can still generate and sell their own Keys, on other platforms, At a lower price (Like on GoG, Humble store)

      Theres nothint stopping a Dev from using multiple platforms, they just can’t distribute Steam specific keys on another storefront cheaper
