Valve hasn't changed anything, I'm tired of people just bandwagoning every thing they don't like. Valve isn't like other companies. They are still a for profit venture but they aren't doing anything problematic.
I personally don't feel the terms they offer to provide the amazing service they provide is anti competitive, and like ive mentioned I have had this argument before. I don't see how it's anti competitive to say I'll sell your shit and host it and distribute it and manage your upgrades, but I don't want you listing it less elsewhere than your are willing to on my platform.
I'm not just out here licking Gabe's ballsack, you aren't offering any rationale for them being uncompetitive other than someone is suing them. Which is what I was responding to mainly. Just because Ubisoft, like Epic before then, even EA too, failed to create a product that people actually want to use, doesn't make Valve uncompetitive.
If this is such a bastardly term, why is it only now that those big firms are failing to launch, that the policies that are almost 20 years old now suddenly anticompetitive.
Can you offer one argument about why price parity is a bad thing?
