Valve's Appeal Denied: EU Court Upholds Geo-Blocking Fine
TL;DR
The EU court has upheld a fine against Valve for geo-blocking practices on its Steam platform. Valve and five game publishers were found to have participated in anti-competitive agreements that restricted cross-border sales of certain PC video games compatible with Steam between 2010 and 2015. Valve's appeal against the fine has been dismissed, and they will likely have to pay the €1.6 million penalty.
