    FYI: Eurogamer is owned by IGN who is owned by Ziff Davis.

    IGN has been known to write hit pieces against competition for Ziff Davis and their partners.

        it’s wild how those letters spell “Bloomberg” and not “Eurogamer”. how does that work?

            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?
