Hi guys,
I recently read that retailers were putting pressure on digital markets to keep the price matched with the physical copies they sell, Threatening to stop shelving from publishers that don't comply. I'm not sure if I can trust my source. I think it could be true, it makes sense market wise, but I'm not entirely convinced. Does Gamestop have that much leverage?
Anyways here's where I read it.

My question for you guys is: Do we know? Is there way to be sure that this is true or false?
If yes, care to link to reliable source?
Edit: The poll seemed bugged and I can't edit it. Meh.
