A new Dutch class action has been filed against Valve Corporation, the company behind Steam. The case is brought by the Stichting Consumenten Competition Claims (CCC), which has launched the proceedings under the name GameClaim. The foundation acts on behalf of all Dutch PC gamers who have purchased games through Steam or other PC distribution platforms since 2013, IGN Benelux reports.
Defending a company with multiple unrelated entities suing them over the same thing, including non competitors, before they’ve been proven to NOT be doing that thing is very stupid.
Blindly believing those claims before they’re proven in court is very stupid.
Let the courts make their ruling.
How do we know they’re really unrelated? A lot of the lawsuits are in the US, where
briberylobbying is very prevalent, and the lawsuits brought forth by private entities could be backed by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Epic, etc. under the table. Hell, any publisher/developer involved in the ESA is by definition not “unrelated”.Until these lawsuits are fully resolved, nothing has been proven. All we have are claims and speculation at the moment.
