Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam
barryamelton@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThat’s quite demonstrably false. There’s so many games that do this, and are and have been part of steam for decades. i can think of is IL-2 sturmovik Battle of X series. They have sales almost every month on il2sturmovik.com and the account there is linked to the steam one. Same for other sims like Microsoft etc, selling through the Microsoft store…

It's not about sales, it's about base price. And yes, Steam does consider "perpetual sales" a base price. They nearly kicked Ubisoft off Steam for that trick.

and yet, these games have a monthly sale. If that’s not perpetual sales, I don’t know what it is.

I’ve updated my original post with a testimony proving my point. For this case, I can only guess that it is the same case as with Mindustry: Because they have not been made aware that they are getting a worse deal.
