What they had been charging was about what other stores have been charging

It's not what Epic charges.

Do you think a company that was by far in the lead over other stores dropping their prices further wouldn't increase their user base even further, making it even harder for competition?

No one would care if they were a monopoly and also charged less than everyone else. Pretty much every monopoly discussion revolves almost entirely around their absurd commission rates.

No it doesn't. Do you think GOG and Epic Games want Steam to undercut their rates because they can annihilate them in volume? Steam may not answer back at epics first million $ rate cut because Steam kind of needs them as competition.

Do you think GOG and Epic Games want Steam

Nobody gives a shit what they want. Monopoly enforcement is about consumers.

It's about consumers by making sure there's competition.
