minus-squareotp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down27·27 days agoJust 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.
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·27 days ago…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.

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.
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·27 days agowell, 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.

But I couldn’t see anyone talking about it about any North American currency. i can’t help but notice that you stop responding every time you get asked to back up your claims Nah, it was because I stopped using Lemmy for the day…lol
