Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam
imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoBut multiple game companies have found that trying to list their games on non-steam key selling websites, for less money (because they don’t have to make up for as big a cut) are getting threatened to have their games removed from Steam for doing so.
Has any of these claims been proven yet?

They’re still working their way through the courts.
One of them is over two years old, though, so it’s not just a clout chaser blowing hot air based on absolutely nothing.

Which only proves my point. They allegedly do, and we yet to discover if they actually do it or Epic, Ubisoft and whatever another publisher are lying. 2 years to prove if Valve was abusing the system and still nothing out there to confirm this suspicion.
I suspect that is really tough to prove and that is why eventually case will be dropped due to lack of evidence.

A court case with zero evidence doesn’t last 2 years…

Have you seriously never heard of the Nintendo v Palworld cases? Those are still going on after 2 years despite Nintendo’s claims being complete bullshit

Court case with undeniable and sufficient evidence also doesnt last long. There is more to the story than “they do it/they dont do it”
But claiming they do before it has been proven is dumb.
