okay, and you’re sure of this? thanks for clearing it up in that case.
but then surely it’s against their tos, no? like, if a hat is 50¢ on uplay but 100€ on steam and players on steam can see uplay players wearing the hat, isn’t that a case of price disparity in the product? it’s not a steam key, true, but if ubisoft were allowed to set prices like that it would almost certainly count as anticompetitive practices, right?
no, obviously i’m not saying that. i’m saying that by having content in the game that costs different amounts for different players playing together on the same platform (pc), ubisoft aren’t following the terms they agreed to for selling on steam.
i was reading through the court documents earlier (i linked them in a comment) and while i don’t doubt that bloomberg knows better than me, that wasn’t the feel i got from the emails. it started with valve employees asking internally if it was a tos violation, then reaching out to ubisoft, then the demand to change the price on steam to match. the docs are heavily redacted so some details escaped me but… idk.
