I linked their own guidelines regarding steam key prices. They do require price parity with steam for steam keys. (with some exceptions)

They don’t want to drive you to your storefront so that you get the games cheaper. They want to sell for the same price without paying commission. They want to pocket the difference, not give it to you.

I’ve never seen a reliable source display steam has price parity. Their steam key price parity however is very clearly displayed. partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys

Not actually true. They only require price parity for steam keys. Basically don’t sell steam copies anywhere cheaper than on steam. Any other copy you can sell for whatever price.

How does that help?

This would imply the X axis has to be inverted too…

Case in point, men and women are almost 50/50 in STEM careers around Eastern Europe due to the USSR around eastern europe -> contries in eastern europe that dont support this claim dont count obviously due to ussr -> ussr not mentioned in citation

Anyway, this is a way too broad statistic that clumps together tons of fields which are actually pretty split. Basically statistics gerrymandering.

I’m from eastern europe. This is bullshit.

I think it is both.

The Commission found that Apple fails to comply with this obligation. Due to a number of restrictions imposed by Apple, app developers cannot fully benefit from the advantages of alternative distribution channels outside the App Store. Similarly, consumers cannot fully benefit from alternative and cheaper offers as Apple prevents app developers from directly informing consumers of such offers. The company has failed to demonstrate that these restrictions are objectively necessary and proportionate.

They just got hit with a fine for not complying properly. So so far nothing. But the eu did not call it a day yet.

On top of the fine they are still required to comply and they will be hit with bigger and bigger fines.
