Millions of UK gamers could be affected by a £656 million legal challenge against Valve Corporation after a competition tribunal ruled that a lawsuit over Steam's pricing practices can proceed to a full trial.
The case focuses on allegations that Valve used its dominant position in the PC gaming market to keep prices artificially high on its Steam platform. The Competition Appeal Tribunal's decision clears the way for one of the largest collective consumer actions ever brought against a digital games marketplace in the UK.
