Highly amusing to me that when Amazon is concerned, most people can agree with comments by Reggie Fils-Aimé about how Nintendo considered Amazon's demand for giving them preferential pricing in order to be allowed on their store as illegal monopolistic crimes Nintendo could not take part in (hence their products not being listed at various times on that store).
Meanwhile, when Valve distorts whole market pricing by making retail price demands on suppliers listed on Steam, it's often crickets.
