Know the workplace rules!
Steam: We take a 30% cut of profits on our store. Devs: Aww you're so sweet.
Apple: We take a 30% cut of profits on our store. Devs: Hello? Human resources?
- wbobeirne 6mo agoI cannot get apps on my iPhone from anywhere else but the App Store. While they are dominant, Valve isn't locking anyone in even on their own hardware.

- vorpalhex 6mo agoSteam doesn't prevent me from running other games on my pc.
- _aavaa_ 6mo agoThis get brought up often, and it’s such a lazy example. Apple forces you to give them their cut (you have to pay for developer license even just to keep your own personal apps on your phone). Valve isn’t forcing you to use Steam.
- AlotOfReading 6mo agoValve's most anticompetitive rule is that steam keys you distribute outside steam shouldn't be sold for less than the price on steam. Would that Apple were the same.
- _aavaa_ 6mo agoWhich does not actually seem anticompetitive at all.
