How Steam keeps game prices unfairly high
Demand a fair game price
We’re not against Valve or Steam, but we are in favor of a fair PC gaming market. Because Valve is cheating the PC-gaming market, competitors don’t get a fair chance and gamers end up paying too much. Surely Steam doesn’t need that, does it?
First we'll sit down with Valve. If that gets us nowhere, we'll take it to court. Here's what we want to achieve:
Fair game prices
Compensation for gamers
How joining works
Sign up
That way we can show the court how many PC gamers support our claim.
Going to court
First we'll sit down with Valve. If that gets us nowhere, we'll take it to court, and you won't have to do a thing.
Compensation
If we win, you may receive compensation. Part of it goes towards covering the costs. No cure, no pay: if you get nothing, you pay nothing. You'll find the exact terms here.
Here's how Steam cheats, and here's what it costs you
Four ways Valve makes the PC gaming market unfair, and what it means for you.
What other PC gamers think
We asked PC gamers why they're joining the GameClaim. Here's what some of them said.
“Steam is an absolutely fantastic platform, but 30% commission is far too much for the scale we're talking about here. Gabe already has enough for one superyacht. (translated)”
– Mark
“Thank you for standing up for gamers! (translated)”
– Robin
“To reduce the power of big tech and make it fairer. (translated)”
– Rico
“Steam is incredibly easy to use, but it holds back development with its monopoly position. (translated)”
– Lars
“I find it an unpleasant thought that I've overpaid because of unfair competition through Steam's overly dominant position. I genuinely have dozens of games in my Steam library. Do the math..... (translated)”
– Marc
“I wasn't aware that Steam kept prices this high, and I think healthy competition is important (translated)”
– Tim
“Why not, since Steam ripped me off. (translated)”
– Cochise
