Show us price comparisons between storefronts. Prove what you’re saying. Full retail price, not sales prices.

That’s my fucking point, the whole distribution chain needs to be regulated to stop distributors pocketing so much of our money when they’re accomplishing barely any of the actual work. It’s not a Valve problem, it’s a capitalism problem!

So you think grocery chains are making record profit every year without it impacting your wallet or something?

Kinda impossible to do price comparisons when the whole is system is rigged, right?

Alright then, can you do math?

Valve gets a 30% cut, take a game, reduce that cut to 10% and figure out the price. Price stays the same? Alright, that just means more money going to the devs, which are the people like you and me, instead of Gabe, which is a billionaire.

Apply that in all sectors and we end up richer, billionaires end up poorer. The 1% would finally stop owning 63% of all wealth… But I guess you would rather defend their right to make as much profit as they want while you can only afford a 10$ game every six months.
