No, because ubisoft is a shit company with a shit product.
Ahhh so it's because one is a billion dollar company you like and therefore, can do no wrong and must be defended at each point.
Every billionaire is living off stolen wealth except Gaben because he has a nice product that I like.
You know when everyone was simping for Elon before he went mask off, that's what the Gaben fan squad sounds like.
Threatening and forcing price parity because you own the largest market share isn't acceptable no matter who does it and to whom.
You're conflating commercial competency with personal likeability.
The difference between
Steam is provably the superior platform and that's why they are successful.
Vs
Steam is better because I like gaben.
Defending commercial competency is logically consistent.
Defending a billionaire personally is not.
Now go back and look at what was being defended.
Do you defend Amazon with this kind of energy. It's super convenient compared to my local business and cheaper, Amazon has massive commercial competency.
Bootlickers, the lot of you. And I say this as someone who has a steam deck and mostly games through steam. I'd never defend billionaires and their money extracting machines but all it takes for most of you is a media campaign telling you Gaben and Steam are your friends and how they care for you. Pathetic.
I see, that's my bad, I thought this was a conversation, but it's actually a rant.
No worries, I rescind my participation
You go off king/queen/.
Every store has price parity to some extent. Every store you will ever sell a product in has a non-compete agreement built into your contract. Not only is this not controversial there's no actual reason it should be.
It is common sense that you, as a product producer, shouldn't intentionally sabotage someone you're selling your product to. It doesn't matter who you're selling your product to. It is optional to sell your product to a third-party intermediary in the modern era.
This isn't defense of gaben or whatever weird fucking fantasy you people have come up with, this is just how private trade works.
If you have a problem with this, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE CONCEPT OF PRIVATE SERVICES AND CAPITALISM.
