Re: [新聞] 遊戲開發商Wolfire針對Steam平台發起反壟

Judge dismisses antitrust lawsuit filed against Valve https://www.pcgamer.com/judge-dismisses-antitrust-lawsuit-filed-against-valve/ 之前Valve向法官要求駁回，因為證據完全不足。 最新消息就是法官同意了Valve的看法，所以這個反壟斷案被駁回了。 駁回的理由在這 The ruling, available in full on CourtListener, says Wolfire's lawsuit falls short on two separate points. First, the claim that Valve is illegally tying the Steam store to the platform—essentially, using the near-monopoly of Steam as a library, launcher, and social media platform to force people to buy games through the Steam storefront—is rejected because the allegations in the lawsuit suggest that the Steam platform and storefront are in fact "a single product within the integrated game platform and transaction market." Wolfire's lawsuit also claims that Valve uses its near-monopoly to charge an excessive fee to sellers—30%—that wouldn't be sustainable in a competitive marketplace. That claim resulted in some interesting conversations earlier this year, but the judge rejected the argument, noting that Valve's take has remained unchanged throughout Steam's history, even as other online stores charging lower percentages have come and gone. "Therefore, it would appear that the market reality, at least as plead, is that [Valve's] fee is commensurate with the Steam Platform's value to game publishers," the ruling states. ==== 反正大概又涉及什麼法律問題，看有沒有高手要幫大家解惑。 -- 「......歡迎大家光臨天象館。」 「這裡有著無論何時都決不會消失的，美麗的無窮光輝。 「滿天的星星們在等待著大家的到來。」 ── 星野夢美 ﹝星之夢﹞ ── -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 36.233.168.250 (臺灣)
