Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

They control prices though, can't sell for less on another platform.

Of course you can, just not steam keys.

If it was only about Steam keys, there wouldn't have been a lawsuit.

They don't though? Devs set the price. Steam just says that you need the same base price there as elsewhere.

Yeah because if you don't, they delist your game. That's the literal definition of anti-competitiveness. They could never get away with that if they weren't a monopoly.
