The gaming giant is being accused of abusing its market dominance by imposing restrictive terms on game publishers and locking players into using Steam, the world's largest distribution platform for PC gaming.
The lawsuit - filed at the Competition Appeal Tribunal in London - alleges Valve "forces" game publishers to sign up to conditions which prevents them from selling their titles earlier or for less on rival platforms.
My thoughts
Could be interesting change up if this goes through. I personally don't mind just using Steam to purchase my games and DLC as I find them very reasonably priced especially when the sales are on. But I see where the publishers are coming from especially with the 30% cut steam take.
