Valve allegedly threatened to delist all editions of Rainbow Six Siege after Ubisoft offered a cheaper option on its Uplay store.

Yeah.

Because it violates their policy. That's not a "threat", those are the terms of the contract Ubi and WB agreed to. Terms that everyone has to follow.

I do like Valve more than most companies, but this is absolutely monopolistic behavior.

    I do think the R6 Siege situation is a bit different, to my knowledge it was about Ubisoft adding a new cheaper "Starter Pack" option that lets you access a multiplayer-first game on different terms. It seems scummy to give users playing the same game on the same servers different terms on different storefronts.
