       @gamingonlinux I'm really surprised to see all of this white-knight'ing for a big electronics / software corporation. Every time one of these corporations gets taken to task, it's good for consumers.1.) Valve certainly shouldn't be able to dictate how publishers set their prices on other platforms.2.) DLC should 100% be agnostic across platforms and there's no reason it should be difficult to implement.3.) If Steam has a monopoly on PC game sales, then its commission is necessarily excessive
