You are aware that if you buy headphones at a brick and mortar store, 30-40% of the price goes to [retail store] as well because they have warehouses, distributors, storefront rent, and staff salaries to pay right?
- FeepingCreature 5y agoThe point is that they can't compete on that percentage. That's what makes it anticompetetive. Steam is doing a similar thing. It's wrong there too.
- Ekaros 5y agoI disagree with Steam being wrong. It's kinda special situation where product also includes distribution on their store. So I consider justified of them having same pricing. Now, I'm not saying that this should be apply to copies distributed via other channels. Just to those redeemable on Steam.
- FeepingCreature 5y agoTo my understanding, Steam does it to copies on all channels.
- ksec 5y agoIn this specific example. It is Bose that keep their pricing. And it is likely Bose and Amazon have deals that are not of the same percentage as other sellers. Just like Apple and Amazon's deal.
