Basically valve do not stop other companies from competing

So is there something you didn't understand that I can clarify, or are we in agreement that Valve needs to discard the PMFN policy?

Is it a shitty businiss practice? Absolutly. Should valve as the only company allow others to under cut them? No that would be insane. Should it be regulated as illegal businiss practices for everyone - yes absolutly.

It is basically contractual price fixing. Staggering that the practice is allowed.
