The lawsuit accuses Steam of anti-competitive practices, including forcing developers to use Steam's payment system for all in-game purchases with a 30% commission, prohibiting better pricing on other platforms, and requiring DLC purchases through Steam. Sweeney argues this is similar to courts finding Apple and Google's practices illegal. Some developers confirmed Steam rejected their games for linking to external services like Ko-Fi and Patreon, though many players remain loyal to Steam for its convenience. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
