So you genuinely, seriously think the only reason I support this is because I have some random obsession with the person running the lawsuit, and nothing to do with wanting better right for consumers?
What “better right for consumers” are you advocating for? The false claim that Steam bars anyone on their platform from selling cheaper is easily proven false by looking at any of the numerous websites that track prices of games from various storefronts and is the key point used by Epic’s legal team to try to garner support to break up steam in order to gain market share themselves and make the industry markedly worse.
Your post is thinly veiled “Valve bad, give money to Epic instead”, whether you realize it or not. So what is your plan to make the industry actually better?
I think you’re caught up in some weird fanboy shit I didnt even realise existed.
If it’s not true then let the courts decide that. If you’re right great, but if the lawsuit goes through, then it’s better for consumers.
Also steam being broken up isn’t at all on the cards here so idk why you’re even bringing it up? It’s a UK court, they don’t have the power to do that to an American company. Nor is it even in the scope of the suit.

True, which is why it is so easy to tell which one you are doing. :)
