but when they sell somewhere else, that includes the steam key and access to steam and steam’s distribution at no cost.

Ubisoft selling the game on Uplay, their own storefront, does not include a steam key with the purchase. The clause you just listed IS NOT RELEVANT to the situation. Which is why valve is being sued.

They're offering a version of the game that isn't even available on steam (so doubly no steam key), and were told that doing so at a lower price would have valve removing all versions of the game for sale. This is blatant market position abuse to fix pricing.

Who the fuck is upvoting your blatant misinformation?

lol ur the guy who thinks that making sounds with haptics in a controller will make it smoke somehow

nobody should listen to you

Controller Haptics used to be a spinning motor with a weight. Those DO make smoke when they break.

So, maybe sit down and think over how pathetic holding this pretty little grudge for weeks is...
