      Right, like the fuck you complaining about? You didn’t get your game at 60 percent off? You paid for the limited edition bonus starter pack?

      Like I can see if your in another country and the company who puts it up for sale doesn’t price it for the region but is that steams fault?

      Also 30 Percent is low for some of these companies or right on target for most

        Epic takes 12% IIRC. Which ones take more than steam? Not saying steam doesn’t provide any value to devs or players, because it does, but 30% is still pretty high.

        Some people are just built to scheme and scam while feeling entitled to their desired results. I don’t understand the psychology behind it, but I’ve met enough people with this personality type to know there is no reasoning with them.

      I’m not a lawyer so I have no clue about the legal issues, but I’m more than happy to put my name to anything that costs a corporation money. I don’t even need the money. They can take it out of Valve’s pocket and burn it for all I care.

        Great, you should focus your efforts on different companies, Valve is one of the few good ones (for now).

        Most of these seem to just put most of the money into corporations run by lawyers, so that doesn’t make much sense. Transferring money from one corp to the next.

        Millions going to the lawyers and pennies going to the actual victims of the suit.
