If it was just steam they could price however they want. Competition is not a bad thing...whether the service is good or not, more options (bad or good) are better then no options at all

Valve doesn't put the prices on the games.... it's the publishers that price their own games.

Valve and Steam don't control the prices of games, unlike what Microsoft does on Xbox Live. Microsoft didn't even allow Valve to release the DLC free for the X360 version, while it was free for the PC version.

The pricing all depends on how big everyone's cut is. If Valve became the only digital distributor then they could charge the publishers X amount more to have their games on the service. In turn publishers jack up the asking price for their game. That's all i'm saying. Competition is good.
