How is Steam a “monopolistic player” when you say “almost every game on steam can be purchased somewhere else” and go on to mention Gog, MS Store, Epic Store, and “the list goes on”?

That Steam, and others you mention, charge 30% categorically undermines the whinging about Apple’s 30% being out of line.

I’m also curious about people’s thoughts on Sony pulling CDPR’s Cyberpunk 2077 from their Playstation store.



You're right about steam. Monopoly isn't the right word.

Steam is the only one on that list that takes 30% that I know of. MS store went through a period where they would pay you to put your app there.
