    Yeah that doesn’t even vaguely resemble what I’m saying.

    Valve isn’t regulating your hardware and they aren’t forcing anybody to do anything.

    Valve is not a bully here. They have a contract saying if you sell your product with me you can’t sell it someplace else cheaper just to use me for marketing and delivery.

    Apple says you have to pay me to even have the right to sell your product and you can only sell it through me. If you sell it someplace else I want to cut of that too.

    Google just keeps changing the nature of what you’re allowed to do with your own stuff and they take a cut.

    If you feel bullied by Valve or some developer feels bullied by valve then you have a victim complex.

      Do you think all the sellers to whom Amazon put exactly the same ultimatum have a victim complex too?
