A new Dutch class action has been filed against Valve Corporation, the company behind Steam. The case is brought by the Stichting Consumenten Competition Claims (CCC), which has launched the proceedings under the name GameClaim. The foundation acts on behalf of all Dutch PC gamers who have purchased games through Steam or other PC distribution platforms since 2013, IGN Benelux reports.

    basically saying there game won’t get promoted on the store or in searches unless they agree to sales.

    I’m very skeptical of that. The Factorio devs famously refuse to ever put the game on sale, and has even increased the price over time to account for inflation. Yet they’re one of the most popular games on Steam

      Yeah they are the notable exception. 99% of I die devs aren’t that lucky.

              Yes, burden of proof lies with me, but what proof do you actually want??

                You’re the one making claims figure it out.

                But by this point it’s pretty obvious that you have no proof. You’re just trying make it look like you’re waiting on me because you can’t admit you’re full of shit.

                Like I said, pony up or shut up

                  It’s a pretty simple question and you refusing to answer it just proves you’re not here to argue in good faith and just don’t want to back yourself into a corner that forces you to accept any particular evidence I would give you. As by refusing to state what evidence you would accept you leave yourself the option of arbitrarily refusing anything I present to you.

                  Which is exactly why I ask. I’ve been on the internet a long time and this is the best method for dealing with bad faith trolls.

                    Lol.

                    Again, that’s not how proving claims work. You made the claim, so pony up. If your evidence is so irrefutable, then share it.

                    You’re literally running the playbook of Gaslight, Obstruct, Project. You should quit “trying” to make indie games and run for political office for the MAGAts.

                    This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you posting on here, and you paint yourself as a wannabe indie dev that’s totally incompetent so you start bitching and moaning about everyone else instead of actually learning how to make a decent game, all to avoid admitting that you suck at it. Grow up, you are not entitled to have the entire world bow down and tell you you’re a special boy like your mother.
