That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

I track prices with isthereabydeal.com and yeah pretty often a new historical low is set by a Steam key reseller like Fanatical. It's usually only by a few bucks (like maybe $5 max, though still not a bad discount if the previous price was like $25).

Of course if I buy the game, I stop caring about its price so maybe the same sale happens directly on Steam sometime after. I'm not sure on that so ymmv.

Interesting, thanks for sharing!

I'm curious if the same thing happens on the Epic store. I'd seen some people discussing Epic being a lot cheaper in certain currencies, but not in North America anywhere.
