"When a market, such as this one, is highly concentrated, a new entrant can benefit consumers by undercutting the incumbent’s prices. The ability to provide PC games to consumers at lower prices is one way a firm or new entrant could gain market share."
The claimants aren't part of Epic games by any chance, I wonder?
It's an interesting clause that I wasn't aware of in Steam's Distribution Agreement. I can't find a version of it to read online either. It does concern me that Valve have decided to have this clause in their agreement: Can you imagine a major supermarket dictating that in order for a product to be sold in its stores, the price had to be fixed everywhere else it is sold? No one would sell through them. It's clearly only because of their dominant position Valve are able to do this.

I don't have a real big issue with this. The MFN Steam's had has been there from the start, it's not something added recently or anything. Meaning Steam has had this since it was nothing but a Valve Game Launcher till the market leader it is now. GoG has steadily gained market share against Steam and Epic's platform has to although I have a barrel of issues with Epic.
