Totally agree. But let's say they increase price on Steam, that will have repercutions and probably price going back to normal which would them make the other services price be lower (like an agreement between dev and store for the lesser fee). The problem currently is that they can't do that because of STEAM, they can only offer promotions (which can't be permanent by principle).

I don't share your confidence in there being repercussions. I think people would still buy the games at a higher price, and the higher price would become the new normal.

Could very well be. But Steam don`t want that to be the case, thus from the lawsuit they demand that the game is sold at the same price on their store as is in others.
