    Just because they’re not on sale at the same time doesn’t mean Steam doesn’t get the same sale price.

    And if GOGs sales aren’t going lower than Steam’s sale prices, then that’d be evidence in favour of what I’m saying.

      …but that’s what the clause is about? if you sell steam keys, you can’t have a sale if the game is not also cheaper than normal on steam at that time.

      gog doesn’t sell keys, so it doesn’t affect them.

        Then let’s look at Epic, who also doesn’t sell Steam keys, but takes a much lower cut.

        Does Epic regularly have lower All-Time-Lows than Steam?

          Do you actually know the answer yourself? Just say what you want to say, back it up with data, and PROVE YOUR FUCKING POINT ALREADY. Or keep playing smug coy games and pretend like the downvotes mean you won or something.

          well, do they?

          if they did, that would be weird, right? lower cut plus lower price equals no benefit for the dev. lower cut plus same price would mean more money.

          Edit:

          i can’t help but notice that you stop responding every time you get asked to back up your claims. i’m assuming this is because you’ve gone to find hard numbers?

            They actually do in some regions! But I couldn’t see anyone talking about it about any North American currency.
