    Yeah, surely they can point to the Epic v Apple lawsuit and also point to the ability to install Heroic or any other launcher/software on their platform, and the judge will laugh the plaintiffs out of the courtroom.

    I’m not a fan of the 30% cut, but that really is par for the course and any other company could compete with them on their own platform, unlike with Apple’s iOS. So I see no basis here for a lawsuit.

    I’m guessing the plaintiffs just wanted to meet Gabe and felt this was the easiest way to get a 1:1…

      A developer can even sell steam legs directly from their own site and not have to pay Valve the 30% cut. (If I remember correctly.)
