If a company makes a policy change after someone has sued, that change can’t be used as proof of wrong doing. It isn’t considered an admission of guilt. “They changed their policy, that means they knew they were wrong!”

They can’t change it now because they know that forced arbitration offers there best chances of resolving ongoing litigation in their favor.  They know they’d be fucked in the current cases, so they won’t do it.

No, it doesn’t make sense at all, in any way whatsoever. There’s absolutely no reason why the presence of ongoing litigation would prevent them from changing their policy such that starting today future situations don’t go to forced arbitration. The legal system doesn’t work such that if you make such a change you…

I would think they like how valve is treating its store and what they are doing with it.

Man, I get it, you really like Steam.  But this comment makes you look like some idiotic fanboi who went straight to the comments and didn’t bother reading the article.  

As a monopoly my choices were often Steam or pirate. So calm yourself hot sauce. I hitched myself to them when I bought Half-life 2 and it was required to play it, and it was a total fuck up in general, but especially on a spotty and expensive internet connection in Africa.

there were no fits thrown until you replied. 

What I want to know is how much Steam are paying you to shill for them in comment sections cross the net. Because it seems fully strange for people to be white knighting for a giant corporation so hard. Especially one with such a checkered history. 

suddenly, sales are shady manipulative trickery lol.

Not to forget the shady anti-consuymmer exclusive deal that epic does to strong arm users in using the launcher.

These “hot takes” Steam zealots have where everything that might go bad with EGS is because of evil are really getting tiresome.

These things have happened with Steam before, you know? Not in recent years because their sales have become laughable to the point where I get most of my stuff off Fanatical, Humble, or GMG,…

How did they pull "some shady shit"? Epic themselves are taking the profit loss, meaning the developer still gets the full price. Which also means they get a chance to sell more units at a discounted price, while still making full profits. If anything, it's the developers pulling shady shit. 

So basically Epic pulled some shady and manipulative trickery and didn’t tell people ahead of time, and then when companies said, “Hold up! We didn’t agree to this!”, Epic tried to paint it as those companies being unreasonable?

That’s not what happened at all, but I do enjoy these constant examples of PC Game Launcher Wars being more petty and immature than the Console Wars ever were. Keep ‘em coming.

Yeah, it’s a generous sale. But it sure seems to be telling me that they’re wanting to do whatever they can to increase the number of computers their storefront is on.

this is the stupidest goddamn thing i’ve seen on this website, and I watched the entire video of Barry killing himself with scrambled eggs.  fuck

I cannot believe there have been this many stories published about what boils down to two people arguing over gummy vitamins. 

this is an incel free space. move along.

Ayesha Curry forfeited any kind of empathy when she went on her holier than thou slut-shaming tour. She made her own desexualized, I dont dress like other attention seeking hoes, ideal wife and mother, while I condescendingly judge other women bed, so she can lay in it. I’m not here for her humanity, continue to be the…

Dumb strawmen.  Stop using words like all, always, every, never.  Otherwise your points are laughable and worthless.
