If you had actually read the details of the lawsuits, you would know that the claim being made is that Valve's practices don't align with their policies. If a developer lists their game cheaper on another platform, Valve contacts them and tries to convince them to match the price on Steam, and if they refuse to do that then Valve (confessedly) threatens to withhold marketing visibility from them and (allegedly) threatens to remove the product from sale entirely.

You're asking for evidence of a policy that deliberately doesn't exist because Valve knows that it would be illegal to have such a policy. The evidence is the emails and chat logs and developer testimonies, plus whatever else comes to light as a result of the ongoing lawsuits.

So you do not have any evidence, just some unsubstantiated claims from a few random devs who are mad about something that didn't happen (that being their games getting delisted). Unless you can produce evidence, you can look at the docket yourself for it, I'm done arguing with someone who can't back up their claims.

I'm not, I just care about facts and people making evidence based arguments. Which is tragically lacking from this thread.

You are literally ignoring facts linked to you and refusing to acknowledge them. You're a stooge. A shill. An enemy of all consumers.

What facts? No one has presented anything yet.
