Dutch non-profit set to take Valve to court for keeping game prices high
A Dutch non-profit, the Consumer Competition Claims Foundation, is preparing to take Valve to court over allegations of artificially inflating PC game prices on Steam. The organization claims Valve's 30% commission and contractual terms prevent developers from offering games at lower prices on competing storefronts, leading to overpayments by Dutch gamers estimated at over 220 million euros.
