My favorite recent example:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1493640/Banishers_Ghosts_of_New_Eden/ (50 EUR)

https://www.playstation.com/de-de/games/banishers-ghosts-of-new-eden/ (60 EUR)

PS5 game on sale did cost 2 EUR less than the regular price on Steam. I don’t think Steam overcharges me. It’s not like the game is cheaper somewhere else on PC either: https://store.epicgames.com/de/p/banishers-ghosts-of-new-eden-f9e3f2?lang=de (50 EUR)

Console prices aren’t really relevant to Steam. Consoles always tend to run higher.

Yes, but they sue Steam that has competitors selling games for the same price instead of literal monopolies. Even Apple was forced to open up to other app stores.
