Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.
Price fixing is, as your highlighted bit says, a conspiracy to not compete on prices. Valve isn't conspiring with their competition to fix prices, nor does valve even set the price.
The lawsuit alleges that it's anticompetitive, not price fixing.
I personally don't think it's anticompetitive , given the number of popular games that don't use steam. I just think that epic has a worse product, which isn't valves fault.
From the actual lawsuit documents (emphasis is mine):
EDIT: Uh.... Exactly what part are we downvoting here? All I did was quote the lawsuit.
