    What they had been charging was about what other stores have been charging.

    When they have absolute monopoly.

    Nintendo charges that much because only Nintendo provides Switch software.

    Microsoft charges that much because only Microsoft provides Xbox software.

    Sony charges that much because only Sony provides Playstation software.

    Apple charges that much because only Apple provides iOS software… despite the EU’s best efforts.

    Steam and Android act like they’re the only store that matters, for their platform. And it works. Because they are.
