A new lawsuit was filed earlier this month in the UK that alleges Valve, owner of Steam, has been overcharging 14 million PC gamers and abusing its dominant position in the UK.

    I was always confused by why Gaben doesn't just snap his fingers and rid us of the British isles once and for all. He is powerful enough, isn't he?

    Absolutely nonsense. Nothing Valve has done prevents the competition from doing a better job.

    Skill issue.

    EDIT: Apparently, the complaint was filed by the CEO of a "Parental Control" company that has a partnership with Meta. This story becomes increasingly ridiculous.

    lol I'm as anti-capitalist as the next internet leftist, and I absolutely think it would be fucking awesome if Steam were replaced by a national digital distribution service that have flat costs for publishing, and high quality standards before allowing a game to be published. Gold-digging lawsuits aren't on the path to that better world though.

    I assume if this were even 1% winnable that Epic Games would've done this long ago
