Blend Games has a follow-up to word that Germany's
Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (VZBV) was
pursuing
legal action against Valve
over how
Steam's policies conflict with a
recent EU legal ruling requiring
digitally sold games include an ability to be resold by consumers. At the time
this legal action was first proposed Valve said they had not seen an actual
complaint in this case, but according to VZBV spokesperson Eva Hoffschulte, this
is moving forward, and they hope this lands in court by the end of this year:
"Unfortunately a date of the trial is not fixed, we hope it will take place this
year. Until then, it is not realistic that Valve will change their policy. But
our chance to win the process is very good and that will be really an
improvement for consumers: then they can sell their games to others."
Here's the updated list of the ten bestselling games on
Steam for the past
week:
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition
- Dishonored
- Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gold Edition
- Torchlight II
- Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition
- Sid Meier's Civilization V: Brave New World
- Borderlands 2
- Kerbal Space Program
- Tomb Raider
- Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
Well, I wouldn't say the weather exactly broke, but it does look like it will
fail to reach 90° again today, which is the official end of the heatwave. But
now there are thunderstorms in the forecast for every day this week, so it's not
necessarily going to be that much more accommodating spend time outside. On the
other hand, risk of being struck by lightning aside, it's probably more comfortable being
drenched by rainwater than by sweat.
