Unless you're going to show that this price fixing was somehow agreed to and accepted by regulations decades ago with brick and mortar stores, and then there was an agreement from all the digital marketplaces to join onboard, you can't assume it must be a grand conspiratorial cabal except, somehow, for Tim Sweeney and Epic Games, who are standing against literally everyone else.

Nothing you have said about Steam seems to indicate you're aware of anything Steam does beyond distribute games. Even here, you're not demonstrating any knowledge of its other features. It says quite a lot you think there must be one singular feature that makes all the difference, it's like you have no frame of reference for how many other features Steam has compared to other stores and how they could all be of immense value together. You did, however, reference yet another piece of disingenuity: the bullshit MFN clause complaint. Yet another standard retail practice and agreement that someone is disingenuously claiming is unique to Steam. I'd chalk this up to another EGS thing but there's no proof they're connected to or, you know, colluding with this Dutch group behind the odd class action suit.

So much of this is just ignoring what the standards are and lying by saying they're unique to Steam and nobody else. Standards are standards. There are other agreements in place to keep digital pricing the same as physical pricing too, we should be talking about standards more, not less. There's no good reason to reject acknowledging and considering standards and how little they have been changed. This is Tim Sweeney's whole push about lowering the fee to 12% too.

Pointing out the basis for your arguments are wrong is not nitpicking. The premises are the foundation of the argument and directly lead to the point. You don't have a point if everything that leads to it is wrong. It's also not defending anyone to say that you, and specifically you, are working on false information. If anything, it's closer to being a attack on you than a defense of anyone else.

Speaking of not reading what is being written, you somehow missed I told you what you legitimately could grieve Valve, Steam, and Newell over and you somehow missed it entirely in order to keep up this lie that Valve or Steam are being defended by pointing out you've been played to believe something that isn't actually true because you have little to no experience with the services in question.

Speaking of billionaire worship, I notice a distinct lack of you questioning why billionaire Tim Sweeney would be manipulating public thought and argumentation against his competition in the exact same way that billionaires have been doing for the last decade, and how you fell for it. If you're really anti-billionaire, you should be mad that happened and actively untangling all of the bullshit away and moving on to more legitimate grievances and criticisms instead of doubling down on them by hoping yelling "collusion!" enough will make it real.
