This would be like suing Walmart because people watch pirated content on TVs they buy from Walmart

We aren't even talking about pirated content. The game devs paid the licenses for the music in their game. They want to double dip and have Valve pay, too.

I really hope these leaches will have to pay all of Valve's legal expenses for this shit.

Well dang. I misunderstood, and thought the devs hadn't paid the music licensing. That makes this thing even more unreasonable, legally
