I’m aware and it’s a bullshit lawsuit because people are jealous of steams success. Its not anti competitive to say I will distribute your games for you, but you can’t turn around a out sell it for cheaper once it becomes successful.
they aren’t stopping others from selling their games for cheaper, only saying you can’t also sell the same thing for cheaper elsewhere to make us look like assholes.
It’s entirely fair and transparent. They are free to delist their games from steam if they don’t want to sell it for the same price as the steam store.
And also there are multiple ways to get steam keys for cheaper than steam sells the games yet valve still accommodates those purchases inspite of the way the TOC is stated about selling games cheaper elsewhere.
It’s Ubisoft suing them and they are just bitter and jealous.
Man y‘all are getting really defensive when it comes to your favourite multi billion dollar company.
I like the service steam provides but they’re not your friend. They’re still a profit oriented company.
And just because valve’s competition are incompetent and/or assholes doesn’t mean valve’s not anti competitive.
It’s not about a dev selling a game cheaper on another platform once it becomes popular, it’s about valve forbidding them to sell it cheaper somewhere else at release. Them using their 80-90% market share to forcing developers to either comply or get locked out of more than three quarters of the market is the essence of anti competitive behavior. Doesn’t matter if it’s Ubisoft who’s complaining (fuck ubisoft). It’s monopolistic.
Also didn’t valve very recently state that they’re gonna enforce their terms of service more strictly in regards to keys sold on other platforms?
