    Price matching is fairly industry standard. And if another storefront takes less of a cut then you’d still make more on the other storefront than steam.

    So is it really the price they are trying to sell or the bulkanization of the industry so everyone has 10 different storefronts with 20 different launchers on their machines in order to skip the 3rd party consumer data? Well well that might be the crux of the entire thing right there now that I think of it. thonk
