Valve Gave Ubisoft 24 Hours to Match Rainbow Six Siege Price or Risk Steam Delisting

Bloomberg reported Valve threatened to remove Rainbow Six Siege from Steam unless Ubisoft fixed a cheaper UPlay listing within 24 hours.
The clash centered on price parity: Ubisoft had offered a lower price on its own PC launcher, then called UPlay, prompting Valve to demand a change.
The episode adds detail to the antitrust case against Steam, which alleges Valve punished developers for discounts on rival stores; Gabe Newell has denied any price-dictation policy.
Rainbow Six Siege remains a major Steam title, drawing about 75,000 peak players in the last 24 hours, underscoring why delisting would have mattered to Ubisoft.
