    I just think, if it went to court, Valve would eat MC’s lunch. So I’m not sure they should be worried about being in breach of terms (that they haven’t even breached).

      I hear you, but I wouldn’t go that far.

      You think Steam is a money printing machine?

      MC and Visa are payment processors.

      Literally every credit or debit transaction that involves them?

      Oh yeah, they shave a penny or two or sometimes more off of that transaction, the business and actual banks involved usually eat it, not too long ago it would be much more common for retailers to pass some of it to the consumer as well.

      Its the Office Space scam, but actually legit, at a muuuch grander scale.

      Thats a fucking money printing machine, they unironically have at least 10,000x more money to throw at lawyers than Valve does.

        It doesn’t matter how many lawyers you have, when Valve is literally simply not in violation of the terms of their contract.
