From what I’ve read elsewhere, precedent is already set. Other game storefronts providers, including Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, do make such payments to PRS. Valve is the odd one. I’d love it if someone here could confirm or deny this.

There is also the question of it that was set by court precedent, or settling. I would assume that settling doesn’t effect precedent.
