Yeah, this… doesn’t really make sense, unless the goal is to get Steam to adopt a policy of delisting the specific offending games in the UK.

I am not a lawyer, but… this seems spurrious?

I don’t know, I can’t find a single example of a platform or ‘retransmitter’ being successfully ruled against, in cases where the content itself already had worked out a rights/royalties agreement with the rights holders… unless it can basically be proven that the platform operators / retailers knew that the content itself was not properly liscensed, and sold it anyway.

So basically they would have to prove that Rockstar and EA never had the proper liscensing, and also that Valve knew that.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Rockstar and EA probably did/do have the proper liscensing.

That being said, the UK leaving the EU… makes all of this exceptionally confusing to my layman self, as to the exact current standards and precedents that are currently in play and relevant.
