Question: Does that not mean that Epic is a company that has no standing to complain against Valve, considering they're in the same boat? As in, the decision should if anything be to force both companies to lower their consumer prices from 60 to 40-50, paying the difference out of their own pockets?

Because if not, this naturally creates the exact same issue, just on the other side of the pond. And we'd be back here in half a year with another set of lawyers.

Baseline law change: Cannot charge more than 10% fee on digital storefronts no matter what, price to consumer cannot go above, say, €45.

That'd solve it, no?

This discussion was about Valve but all big companies are in the wrong here. The accumulation of wealth is always done at the expense of the less wealthy.
