This is so stupid. The lawsuit is for game music in general and not games by Valve themselves.

    PRS directly mentioned the likes of "EA SPORTS FC™, Forza Horizon and Grand Theft Auto" and how Valve "has never obtained a licence for its use of the rights managed by PRS on behalf of songwriters, composers, and music publishers".

    So fucking stupid, I see this flopping

    I bet all these lawsuits against Valve are tied to a group formed by Epic & Microsoft among others.

    If the people creating this music did not feel that they were being fairly compensated, then why did they not just ask for more from the people actually making the games? That seems like the simplest solution.

    It's probably just Valve's competitors trying to dig up anyone they can to use to sue them, so that Valve has to reduce their work on Linux.
    Microsoft probably asked their AI how to 1up Valve and got this solution.

    They probably realised that the more funding that is available to Linux devs the faster their meticulously crafted backdoors would be found out and make it harder to spy on Linux users.
