Because Valve would have to pay out 70% the value of the vouchers to developers in game redemptions; the break even point would therefore need to account for that amount being subtracted first (i.e. for $900 including a $200 voucher, $760).

At that point, Valve would likely have higher sales if they didn't include the voucher and reduced the price by the 70% in voucher value it would have cost them otherwise.

Then the same thing would occur—buyers not interested in using Steam would sell the vouchers or the accounts those vouchers are tied to.

App stores shouldn't have to register at all. If nothing is done about Google's plans to require developer registration to release apps, then their monopoly will be stronger than ever.

They shouldn't be allowed to relocate the entire executive branch to Mar a Lago just because Trump feels like it; it's financially wasteful and a mockery of responsible government.

The $175 billion itself is already theft from consumers when accounting for passed on costs.

Targeting civilians is a war crime, but Israel is not in need of financial assistance; they could redirect $180,000 from their genocide campaign without batting an eye.

Not supporting violations of international law is a pretty good option.
