Valve Allegedly Threatened to Delist Rainbow Six Siege from Steam Over Ubisoft Pricing - briefly
(hx) 12:36 PM CEST - Jun,03 2026 - Post a comment / read (4)
Newly revealed court documents from an ongoing antitrust lawsuit claim that Valve once threatened to remove Rainbow Six Siege from Steam.

The alleged threat came after Ubisoft launched a cheaper “Starter Pack” version of the game exclusively on its own Uplay storefront.

Valve reportedly gave Ubisoft until the end of the next day to fix the pricing difference or face delisting from the platform.

Ubisoft ultimately aligned its pricing, and the game remained on Steam without further action.

This incident is being used as evidence that Valve enforces pricing parity rules to protect its dominant position in PC gaming.

The revelations add fuel to the ongoing legal battle over whether Steam’s business practices amount to anticompetitive behavior.

All it took was all publishers to get together, make one unified platform and directly sell their games on it - inc transferring gamers keys -which are owned by the publishers and not steam- to it.

Bye,bye steam. Apart from their IP Half Life and a few others.

No longer taking a 30% cut off the player - publishers inflate prices to account for steams cut.
Indy devs can stay on steam or go to Epic:
The First $1 Million is 0%: Epic takes 0% (you keep 100%) on the first \(\$1,000,000\) in revenue per app, per year. Once sales exceed this threshold, the standard 12% cut applies

Steam is a disgrace. Unchallenged. Only Americans have an affinity with it for obvious reasons. EA is nothing but a scam and not fit for purpose.
Devs bin unfinished titles go away and register a new name, start again. Steam doesn’t care. There’s no independent body that you can go to to challenge disputes, posts etc. a moderator says…and steams back room boys agree.

I challenged a poster who said that “this game was worse than cancer”
Moderators said ‘the post didn’t break forum rules’.

There’s nothing right about steam and its forums and non-existent rules

There's significant infrastructure to run something like Steam. Not so easy to replace.

Furthermore, demanding pricing parity is perfectly defensible. Just having your game on Steam is "free" marketing of that game. If you then turn around and sell it cheaper on your own platform, you used Steam to troll for more purchasers.

But sure, 30% off the top is a lot. There's a reason Gaben is rich as fuck.

The biggest problem of Ubi and all those other stores is that they suck in every sense.
That's the only reason Steam is unchallenged.
Steam has issues, too but buy far, more convenient than any competitor and frankly, that's all that matters because there is no difference in the digital goods you get.
GOG is the only exception, you can play their game entire offline without having to deal with any annoyance and they are yours to keep.
