    Yeah I hope Valve loses this in favor of developers and consumers. If another platform asks for a smaller share devs should be allowed to set a lower price.

      Let’s go on a hypothetical trip. Say valve loses this, and as a result they stop providing free steam keys to publishers, so that you can now only buy on steam. Obviously this is the absolute worst thing they could do.

      Everyone loses, every key shop is dead. Say goodbye to humble, greenmangaming, fanatical and so on.
