※ 引述《wizardfizban (疯法师)》之铭言:
: Judge dismisses antitrust lawsuit filed against Valve
: https://www.pcgamer.com/judge-dismisses-antitrust-lawsuit-filed-against-valve/
: 之前Valve向法官要求驳回,因为证据完全不足。
: 最新消息就是法官同意了Valve的看法,所以这个反垄断案被驳回了。
: 驳回的理由在这
: 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."
法官认为 Wolfire 有两点主张,无法让法官同意
第一点是主张 Valve 把 Steam 商店非法地跟 Steam 平台绑在一起
实质上就是利用 Steam 作为统合游戏库、执行器与社群媒体功能的平台,
这种准独占性
强迫人们透过 Steam 商店买游戏
法官反对的原因是认为这主张意味着
Steam 平台和商店实际上就是
“在游戏(相关服务)整合平台与交易市场中的单一个商品”
: 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 第二点主张是说 Valve 用这种准独占性要求卖家付出 30% 的高额手续费
在竞争强烈的市场中,对卖家来说是很重的负担
法官驳回了这个主张
他说从有 Steam 以来,虽然期间也有其他更低抽成的网络商店来来去去,
但 Valve 的抽成比率从未变过
所以法官认为从市场现实来看
(Valve 收的)手续费对于游戏出版商而言
是符合 Steam 平台的价值的
哀,这个社会是现实的
