    Steam is choosing not to distribute the game at a significantly higher price than elsewhere if the publisher is choosing that pricing structure. The publisher can either choose to distribute on steam with a comparable (not identical) price on steam or not distribute on steam.

    Steam isn’t making the publisher do anything on other storefronts and as you pointed out what Ubi was doing was anticompetitive.
