iOS App Store, Mac App Store, Google Play, Direct from Developer and Other stores are also included with the initiative.
“We believe that developers should have the freedom to price their games how they like, without interference from the online stores that sell the games,” reads the official statement. “Why? Because it allows us to promote our games more freely, as we are doing here! We rely on the ability to promote our games for our livelihood and control over pricing is an important tool for this purpose.”
Because We May campaign runs from May 24 to June 1.
