you can get cheaper prices elsewhere all the time. look at humble bundle (idk if they're still around but thats where a lot of my games came from a while back), green man gaming, or any of the console app stores. depending on who has sales when games are cheaper all the time. y'all are falling for propaganda trying to discredit one of the only decent companies left in gaming written by their competitors and their competitors' friends. try thinking a little before just following the social media hive mind because you've spent the last couple decades seeing proof that this is a blatant lie.

You should read the article. That's not what these suits are addressing.

You should try thinking a little before blindly defending this price fixing behavior which directly harms your wallet.
