At not point did you mention any actual laws and at no point did I mention anything remotely related to laws. I said you thinking that removing that one clause will make other stores competitive is delusional thinking. <br/> <br/>EDIT: And I got blocked. I guess that says all there is to say about OP. 2026-01-28T10:13:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyc8wludhjhr6l2kkwkkv9c989hk677ve5e3733thq2g03sm2rp0szyp3409lgfkl08aj0z388sj55lcl2kvlsamdqrd0am377pvpjacexgza8yfq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspx68enay8lqgdg2kgzstmwl4zep859kc0gmhnuyfj3nfugl5x7ecks3rse'>nevent1q…3rse</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you think removing those abusive clauses will have an impact on the market you&#39;re delusional.<br/><br/>Third party sellers have no reason to have a lower price on a different store, unless the store itself is paying them the offset of a lower price. That&#39;s only going to suffocate smaller stores that don&#39;t have money to burn. <br/><br/>And the stores with first party games can already create a bigger incentive for their store by keeping their games store exclusive because it would be the only place to play that particular game (it&#39;s why streaming services have gone down the route of exclusivity). Also having the game with a higher price point on Steam would just lead to a controversy which will hurts sales and damage the reputation of the company.<br/><br/>Removing the price parity clause will do nothing. 2026-01-28T09:40:28Z
