Ubisoft is only listing on Steam and trying to skirt the 30% cut because they effectively have to be on Steam.

They didn't have to be on Steam. They could have put in the effort to make their storefront worth going to instead of being an awful pile of trash.

Not contesting that the Ubisoft launcher is a gigantic pile of trash.

But that doesn’t make a pseudo monopoly okay.

It does not mean Valve should get to dictate what happens in other stores with threats of their own. A policy like that is anti consumer and should be illegal.
