"Steam discourages people switching platform" - No, just every other platform is ass compared to it.,(reply>), also like they are the only platform for non windows users so it's not like there is much choice because of the other platforms not because of Valve,(reply>), @Helveteshit Yea, the scummy stuff is just kinda regular business stuff, and it doesn't help the fact that they are the most user friendly and fan driven part of PC gaming. It just can make themselves look a little less scummy. But honestly, seems like business is just cut throat to begin with, so I can't judge,(reply>), @Angel Blue The first point sounds like a solid one to me. Why should one platform get updates ahead of another? Second one, that can be considered a bit scummy and monopolistic. But I can understand them from business perspective. The third point, is the same really. Business perspective. So I guess, in that sense it can be considered monopolistic that they want primary attention. But like Ben said, it doesn't prevent them from doing things at other platforms. <br><br>But they should probably throw that third point out the window at this point. As long the price is similar across platforms. I guess that is what it boils down to. But Steam probably has more justification for their 30% cut than any other platform considering their Support/return policy among other things. I doubt Epic, Apple or Humble Bundle sinks as much money into these aspects like they do.,(reply>), @Phat Oof Yea true, I was tired so sorry if some errors,(reply>), @Angel Blue I mean sure - but that's not monopolistic. You can use another game launcher / sales platform. Just they have terms if you use theirs. Unlike IOS there's nothing stopping you, just if you decide to use theirs it basically has to be your primary one.
