       We're seeing a lot of antitrust stuff going on in the tech world, we've got the Google antitrust, Google wants there to be a case against Microsoft and the Valve antitrust lawsuit has been turned into a class action case.

       @BrodieOnLinux@mstdn.social I think that is long overdue, but I also think it will all go away, once that moron (Donald Trump) and his new justice department takes over.

       @Linux To be fair the Google antitrust case was started under his first administration, whether he'll continue it is up in the air though

       @BrodieOnLinux wait, is valve being sued or are they suing someone?I can't see any reason why people would have a reason to sue valve. In fact I always found them siding with the customer in many disputes with publishers, but hey I guess company values can change.

       @liamolua It's a game developer going after them for the 30% cut

       @BrodieOnLinux @liamolua  How can it be antitrust when there are other game stores they can take their business to? This ain't gonna work.

       @BrodieOnLinux Aaaah, I see, wouldn't that only be an issue if Valve owned a monopoly though? Unlike Apple devices you have options to sell your software on other stores like GOG, Epic, Xbox (Windows Store?), Greenman or whatever that DRM alternative to GOG is.

       @BrodieOnLinux The Valve lawsuit is BS. Don’t like how Valve are doing things, go elsewhere, go to the barren wasteland that is EGS 🙄
