不愧是大公典範 我很尊敬瘋法
※ 引述《wizardfizban (瘋法師)》之銘言:
: 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."
法官認為 Wolfire 有兩點主張,無法讓法官同意
第一點是主張 Valve 把 Steam 商店非法地跟 Steam 平台綁在一起
實質上就是利用 Steam 作為統合遊戲庫、執行器與社群媒體功能的平台,
這種準獨佔性
強迫人們透過 Steam 商店買遊戲
法官反對的原因是認為這主張意味著
Steam 平台和商店實際上就是
「在遊戲(相關服務)整合平台與交易市場中的單一個商品」
: 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.
Wolfire 第二點主張是說 Valve 用這種準獨佔性要求賣家付出 30% 的高額手續費
在競爭強烈的市場中,對賣家來說是很重的負擔
法官駁回了這個主張
他說從有 Steam 以來,雖然期間也有其他更低抽成的網路商店來來去去,
但 Valve 的抽成比率從未變過
所以法官認為從市場現實來看
(Valve 收的)手續費對於遊戲出版商而言
是符合 Steam 平台的價值的
哀,這個社會是現實的
