The anticompetitive practice is, sell for the same price here or we won't sell your game? They don't want to be undercut, can't blame them for that.

If they forced exclusivity deals, sure that is anti competitive. If they dictated prices, that would be anticompetitive. If they forced users to buy bundles to get certain games, if they forced a subscription to access games, if they gobbled up every other game seller and closed them down....

We have seen a lot of bullshit in corpo land. I'm not saying valve is perfect, or I love and trust them, but this is pretty weak in terms of objections. I'd rather deal with valve than Microsoft. Then again I was saying that about Google 15 years ago, now a lot less so.
