those are emails, you said the article. there's a huge difference there.

further, why wouldn't valve attempt to stop developers like Ubisoft from undercutting the products they sell. If Ubisoft doesn't like it, they can just not sell their products on steam.

exclusivity of products isn't abnormal to commerce. you didn't complain when Death Stranding was exclusive to PlayStation. you didn't complain when Super Mario was exclusive to Nintendo. you didn't complain when Bigmacs were exclusive to McDonald's.

so why complain now?

You cannot be this obtuse. The emails are mentioned in the Bloomberg article. Eurogamer is just publishing a summary.

What you are saying is that Valve should have the authority to set prices for products they don't make. That's insanity.

enjoy the blocklist, you're among your peers.

Do you add anyone who corrects you to your blacklist?

Must be a pretty long one.
