Newell also said in 2023 testimony that Steam's 'unwritten rule' against charging lower prices on other storefronts does not exist.

    How likely is it that it just so happens to exactly match brick and mortar stores?

        We all know it’s less. You can stop being smarmy about that.

        That’s how online stores are destroying retail, despite charging equivalent prices. But I do not have access to a specific private corporation’s operating costs, any more than you do.
