Newell also said in 2023 testimony that Steam's 'unwritten rule' against charging lower prices on other storefronts does not exist.

      The lawyer should just be able to give this meme to the judge and have the case closed.

        Gog doesn’t have regional pricing where as steam and even epic does. If a Game on steam will cost me 700rs the GOG will charge me 1400rs and since I am poor I just pirate the game. I ain’t paying 700rs for that.

      There was a funnier one with GOG enjoying itself in the corner and the complaining party being Epic lol

        Damn that’s a good point. I don’t hear a single consumer talk about it being a monopoly. Isn’t that who would decide such a thing?
