Most disputes most likely fall far below the limit for small claims, where a lawyer is not required, or even allowed in many cases.

For most people, it’s a hobby for fun, not a job.
Those that want to make a job out of it tend to spread out the content creation to youtube and tiktok, and often sponsorships fill in the gaps.
The ones that actually make a decent living only from streaming are a fraction of one percent.
You raised my hopes, and dashed them quite expertly sir! Bravo!
I thought it was the opposite, that they can’t sell lower on other marketplaces, but they can do what they want with their keys.
Sony still releasing games on PS4. Still remasters PS4 game.
and then required prices be 5% lower than MSRP on other stores
That’s something that Steam doesn’t allow, which means the only way to have lower prices is for Epic to pay for an exclusivity deal. Because who’s going to move to Epic if the only way is to lose out on Steam?
I think part of the Steam contract for publishers is that they can’t sell their games cheaper elsewhere. So anyone wanting to compete with Steam on price needs to sell games that are in demand but not already on Steam. And Epic is really the only company with the pull to get that to happen, but the only way for them to do it is to get exclusivity, which gamers hate.
Hesitation is defeat!
Boycotts only work when the group boycotting is large enough to impact the bottom line.
Most gamers just don’t care enough about accounts and launchers to boycott a game or company. They just want to come home from work and play games.
That’s because the arbitrators are hired by the company. Unless it’s an egregious situation, who’s going to side against the people signing their paycheck?
