What the fuck are you supposed to do then according to these retards? Be shit on purpose so the other shitters can catch up?

The vast majority of the UK's economy is based on money services (aka money laundering and tax evasion). They've blown too much money on arresting their citizens over Facebook posts.

>>731757202
the lawsuit is about devs not being able to sell steam keys for cheaper on other websites.
You're allowed to sell games cheaper than you would on steam on 3rd party websites.
You are allowed to sell Steam keys on 3rd party websites.
You are NOT allowed to sell Steam keys on 3rd party websites for less than what the game sells for on Steam.

>>731757106
they're no longer going to produce the LCD decks but will continue to produce the OLED
what a pointless mislead you're trying to pull, why bother

This shit again?
Didn't they have a similar lawsuit filed against them in USA?
How did that one go?

>>731757202
Yes, they just can't have a lower standard price elsewhere. You can have the game on Steam and Epic, both for $20, you can put the Epic one on sale and not the Steam one but you cannot price the Steam version at 30 and the Epic one at 20.
The guy who started all this tried to cut Steam out by advertising cheaper keys he himself generated and promoting them on his steam store page, the lawsuit started after Steam penalized him for it.

>>731757202
The issue is that Valve stipulates that devs give Steam users the best possible deal. Wolfire Games raised a huge stink about being unable to charge less for the "DRM-free" only in quotes cus idk if they had their own thing version of their game on their own website than what they charged in Steam, ex. If Steam has it listed at $25, they have to charge at least $25 on any other storefront.

I don't think this stipulation includes sales but I'm not a devcuck so I don't know.

>>731757391

Short answer: yes
Long answer: since at least the 50's there has been a move to gut every industry britain had, other than financial, for some insane and retarded reasons.

they are unable to sell STEAM keys outside of steam for cheaper.
they can sell keys to other platforms, their own platforms, or just the raw files for the game without any regard for steams pricing.

They just can't sell keys to use it on steam outside of steam for cheaper.

Steam let's devs sell steam keys elsewhere and take a 0% cut from said keys with the only condition they don't sell them cheaper than on steam. How exactly is this bad for the consumer or the dev?

>>731757517
Yeah this. GMG, Fanatical, etc. are always way cheaper than Steam and don't have sales tax on top of it. These are officially recognized Steam key sellers by Valve. I highly doubt this is true.

>>731757409
>penalized him
no they told him he can no longer sell his game on steam
which they are free to do, he is not obliged to be able to sell his stuff at a store if he doesn't want to abide by how they do things, he was not giving some sort of illegal fine like you are implying.

>>731757674
the chances are 0%

>>731757710
So they don't even take a cut from the keys then? So what the fuck is this all about then.

>>731757358
>>731757416
explain to me why the fuck you should be able to buy a steam key off platform to avoid the steam tax and still use steam's resources?
if it's a lower price in general, without a steam key attached to it (like Factorio does, the steam key attached not the lower price) then I'd understand that, but it would be fucking ridiculous if you could just set up a competing storefront that bypasses the steam tax and gives users steam keys

>>731757517
those are grey market game copies purchased with stolen credit card info the vast majority of the time, which is why those games can end up being removed from your library.
Sometimes, Steam does cut special deals for certain larger developers tho.
Additionally, in the past (I think they've changed it since) you could buy keys in certain regions where games are much cheaper, then list the keys for resale on those key resale websites to make a profit by selling in a first world countries currency.

>>731756803
Valve will win this case since it's made by some greedy retard.

You are allowed to do so if the keys are on sale, not standard price.
You could theoretically just have them on sale 24/7.

>>731757804
We're not talking about those. We're talking about GMG, Fanatical, Gamesplanet, and many others that are officially recognized and authorized by Valve. They are almost always cheaper than Steam, have no sales tax and even offer coupons and such to further reduce prices. These are official sellers.

>>731757714
because sales are exempt from this, especially if the developer also offers similar sales on steam, not at the same time even, just ever.
so key resellers offering -15% off at launch and then a few months later the game goes on sale is perfectly fine

its literally just 1 retard who wanted to sell steam keys for his own game on his own site for -30% of the cost just to try to jew valve out of their cut and on his literal steam page told people to go to his site to get it cheaper and didn't want to handle his own distribution or updating.
could have fully just offered a download from his own site and ran his own servers and sold it at 30% off, but no, he built his game around using steamworks stuff, built it around steam, and all the services they provide for that 30% cut and actively attempted to circumvent paying them.

even if you do all this steam doesn't give a fuck as long it isn't obviously intentionally trying to fuck them, the fact he went out of his way to talk about trying to jew them and trying to convince people to buy his game on his site instead of steam and linking it on the steam page is what caused them to tell him to fuck off
hes an absolute schizo cock gobbler furry and as reasonable person who hears what actually happened instead of his retarded version of events can immediately tell hes a spastic

>>731757775
Who the hell knows, UK is a joke, even if valve gets fined they can ignore it like 4chan hasn't paid the fine for not having id verification.

>>731756803
They wouldn't sue Valve if they could buy them.

>>731756803
Based fuck steam

>>731757517
As long as Steam sees similar sales at some point it's fine to do that. You can have it 50%off on GMG as long as steam eventually sees a similar sale too. Now there are times where it gets wonky like 70% off while the lowest on steam is 60 but I think that has to do with local taxes and whatnot too.

The lawsuit is being filed by someone who pulls this shit all the time, and a lot of the statements are demonstratively false or grossly misinterpreted. Valve isn't a monopoly, there are competitors like Epic, Gog, and Itch.io but Valve simply provides a better service than them.

>>731757952
>You could theoretically just have them on sale 24/7.
In practice Valve will tell you "We know what you're doing, knock it off or we're revoking your key privileges."

>>731756803
Based.

>>731757954
Doing a quick google, it looks like its some sort of odd loophole wherein the developer sells the generated keys, directly to those websites for re-distribution, at lower rates.
Because it isn't the dev directly selling to customers via their own website, but an additional 3rd party with no contractual obligations to Steam, they're allowed to price however they want?

>>731757674

There is no official statements or endorsements from Valve listed anywhere on these sites, from what I've seen.
I get that the steam keys are genuine, but that doesn't mean the sites are official or sanctioned by Valve in anyway?
Feels like some sort of gay op by third worlders to try and lend legitimacy to unofficial websites they use to scrape and resale peoples data.

How are you going to hold a 3rd party retailer accountable to a contract that was never formed?
Like you can sell used physical media games however you want, at whatever price you want, because you have no obligations to the owner of the product or game.
How is Nintendo supposed to make sure you can't resell your copy of Pokemon Leaf Green for $2, or whatever?
Similarly, there is no way for Valve to enforce pricing or a contract made with the developer in regards to pricing on a 3rd party website not contractually obligated to obey Valves rules.

But the developers and publishers are the ones who set the prices, not Valve. Console games that have nothing to do with Steam increased their prices to the new $70 standard.

More or less, the problem crops up when you have countries like Argentina where the exchange rate is supposed to be one value (set by the government) but is actually another (what people actually pay because saying "MY MONEY IS WORTH X" doesn't actually work).
That said, it's still on the dev to account for this once they're made aware.

Well, at least it brought tons of workers to do shitty low-paid jobs the native Europeans were starting to increasingly refuse at the wages they offered. Companies saved tons because they didnt have to increase wages, and it suppressed wage growth along the entire pay column in EU (if cleaner wage goes from 10€/hr to 20€/hr, you in your 15€/hr job are more likely to start demanding raise as well). Multiculturalism has been great for the owning class.
