The Steam antitrust lawsuit has expanded into a class action, now including anyone who has paid Valve's 30% commission since 2017. The plaintiffs argue Valve's practices harm consumers and stifle competition. Wolfire and Dark Catt lead the case.

Notable: Wolfire & Dark Catt's antitrust suit against Steam has been certified as a 'class action', with 'all Steam devs who got paid out since 2017' now part of the eligible group: https://t.co/4vtL48qW0m (Doesn't mean the lawsuit succeeded, but it's an important milestone.)

We never wanted to sue. We found that @valvesoftware @steam had control over most PC market competitors; they had control over our pricing/ value and every other developer on contract; raising prices on consumers & choking sales on places like @humble @GreenManGaming via keys

The past year was a real challenge when @steam @ValveSoftware removed our debut game @djinniandthaco with no explanation after we reported fraud and asked for an audit/ investigation of Steam Keys/ manipulation. They said we needed a subpoena for answers. #indiedev #vr
