The rent seeking on platforms like Steam, the Apple App Store, and Google Play is absolutely gross considering how little value they actually provide. I'll be very glad to see them forced to reduce it to somewhere similar to a card transaction fee.

Didn't the Epic lawsuits against Apple and Google end up showing Valves Steam cut ended up working out to something closer to 20% after all the key sales and whatever other factors. Plus EGS already does less than 20% cut and it's been like 6+ years and that client is still bare bones and they don't even do gift cards or price lower. Same for Microsofts store which I believe is lower on PC while still 30% on console.

Regardless at best this lawsuit would just mean an end to 3rd party steam key sales or Valve taking a 30% cut on those too. At best a victory against Valve would mean more expensive games with the loss of keysite stores pricing advantage

Also games used to MSRP $10 cheaper on Steam when there was an argument that going digital was a major cost savings compared to physical products/packaging, shipping, and retailler cut. Eventually publishers stopped caring and made physical and digital prices the same while adding an assortment of DLC and subscriptions

Does this mean cheaper games on the Steam store? Might be good for indie developers, but I bet most publishers will pocket the difference.
