Fair enough.
Thank you for the response!

That’s because the versions sold on the company site are for ArenaNet keys, not Steam keys.
The rule is only for selling Steam keys.
As has been pointed out by many other people in this thread, this is untrue.
If you are providing a Steam key, it has to be the same price as Steam. Otherwise, you can set whatever price you want (e.g. if you were selling on both Steam and Epic - like Borderlands 3, which frequently had sales on Epic where the price dropped below the Steam price)

It’s even fine to sell your Steam keys at a lower price in another place - as long as you’re planning to have a similar sale on Steam at some similar time.
It’s OK to run a discount for Steam Keys on different stores at different times as long as you plan to give a comparable offer to Steam customers within a reasonable amount of time.
TL;DR: Games sold on Epic could be any price they want. They’re no different to Steam, in general, because that’s what publishers choose.
I haven’t played it in years, how is it doing now in 2024?
I enjoyed reading this, thank you.
Certainly sounds more interesting than my original read of it! Sorry about that, I was grumpy.
The things you are describing sound like if-statement levels of automation, GitHub Actions with preprogrammed responses rather than LLM whatever.
If you’re worrying about being replaced by that… Go find the code, read it, and feel better.
I’m not saying everything in the world has been done, but “what, like Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands?”
Yes, people are being forced to use it if they want to, for instance, search using Google or Bing.
As the parent comment suggested, or there’s no way to opt out, currently.
I’m glad you see value in it; I think the injection of LLM queries into search results I want to contain accurate results (and nothing more) a useless waste of power.
The Xreal air, or the one they were releasing this year, is potentially that.
Oled displays and cameras for tracking objects and hands.
To be clear, that thirty percent was the going rate for stores back when Steam started - not just since 2019.
I don’t know where you’re getting the 15-20 percent thing.
Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy’s recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?
I’ll be honest, I’m very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn’t a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I’ve frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.
Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a “Pay with Google Wallet” style prompt on a website?
