For me is fairly simple: Steam overcharge me a little in my country but I’m okay with it because they are also they only company actually working full on Linux support and that’s also still cares about gamers in someway (at least compared to anything else right now)
epic was adv ertising adding a shopping cart to their launcher a year or 2 ago but its steams fault there's no competition. no the competition is just lazy and incompetent..
The fact that you also have to have a PS subscription to get higher "discounts" is very funny. Steam? Every sale is the same for everyone Sony?nah, pay us to get higher discounts lmao
This is the reason why the UK is charge more than other country. The UK is no longer apart of the European union in economy business and dealings. Therefore they no longer use the same currency in trading which is the "Euro". Ever since the UK left the EU. Every other EU country no longer wants to trade with Britain due to a thing called "Brexit". "Brexit" charges import and export of good in and out of the country a lot more than your average EU country. So small businesses shut down and medium business flee the country. Without a stable import and export of goods and services. The EU is dead in the water. The only people who benefits from Brexit are the boomers, and they are two step closer to the graves in the next few years. Leaving the rest of the younger generation to suffer. This is why steam is getting sue, because of the bad policy done by illiterate politician and bigwigs who are so greedy for more and more that they have to resort to extortion for survival. Remember this if you are using extortion it mean you are at your wits end and that is the only way left to save yourself in the business world.
"The UK is no longer apart of the European union [...] Therefore they no longer use the [...] "Euro"". Just wondering if you could let me know the date that the UK started using the Euro that they no longer use.
@@stuartcollins7616 No clue, but what I do know is that the UK no longer accept the euro as legal tender. I assume as soon as the Brexit policy was in place. Everything else fell with it. The British pound is not worth much. If anything the Euro and U.S dollar is worth more than the pound. This is like saying why does it does it cost 83 Russian ruble to buy a 1 dollar game on steam. It because the U.S dollar has more power in economic term then the Russian Ruble. In other words this lawsuit is just a circus act to pressure companies into lowing their heads to their rules. The U.K has no authority over an American corporation. If they press on they will lose all benefits of business dealings in the future. After all it only take an American corporation to ask our government to step in. If you wanna mess with corporate America then Uncle Sam will shove a big fat stick up your ass.
The UK never adopted the Euro as their currency. The UK never considered the Euro as "legal tender" - even before Brexit. Digital goods sold on the Steam platform are not considered an imported good. Effectively, your entire argument is moot. Now as for this lawsuit and video... Comparing the price of a Steam game in the US to anywhere in the EU/UK is a bit silly because the EU/UK require sales tax to be included in the price, whereas this isn't true for the advertised sale price in the US - you only see the sales tax once you're at checkout. The lawsuit also seems a bit frivolous considering the publishers decide the regional pricing, NOT Steam. I don't think they will successfully argue that Steam is being anti-competitive due to their "price parity obligations" as this only applies to Steam Keys - publishers are free to price their product as they wish across different platforms.

if something is overpriced just dont buy it (there)
Steam doesn't set pricing. The publishers / developers have to set regional pricing.
