Valve antitrust lawsuit reportedly reveals lengths Steam owner is willing to go to prevent cheaper prices elsewhere
A new antitrust lawsuit accuses Valve of abusing its dominant position in the PC marketplace by forcing developers to maintain price parity across digital storefronts. Emails revealed in the case suggest Valve threatened to delist games like Rainbow Six Siege and removed pre-orders for Middle-earth: Shadow of War when publishers offered cheaper deals elsewhere. Valve denies having a formal price parity policy.
