Legal claim alleges Steam's market dominance means consumers are paying too much for video games.

Valve Corporation is being accused of using its market dominance to overcharge 14 million people in the UK.

“Valve is rigging the market and taking advantage of UK gamers,” said digital rights campaigner Vicki Shotbolt, who is bringing the case.

    There was a indie dev, the Spiderweb games guy, who refused to use Steam for years and he sold his games on his website. I think it was from like 2008 all the way to 2022. Refused to give Valve a cut.

    Then he finally released it on Steam and he wrote a blog post how his niche games sold extremely well and regrets leaving so much money on the table for years.

    I tried to find the blog post but no luck.
