Polish regulators have expressed concerns over possible anti-competitive practices by digital video game platforms. The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) may initiate proceedings based on the analysis of the collected data.

      They are “stealing” all of the sales from the incompetent companies. How dare they.

      If I’m not mistaken they’ve already been found guilty of this in the US.

        Idk why, they do pretty much nothing to combat competition, the competition just sucks hard.

    Polish version of this article doesn’t mention Steam at all, and the English one does. Instead, it says “(…) and two other video game platforms”. Weird phrasing.
