Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam
imetators@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoOne of them is over two years old
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.

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”
