Did you know there was a class action lawsuit against steam right now? did you know there's a good 29% chance that you're enrolled in it? Did you get an email saying there was a lawsuit and you were part of it? I didn't.
of the 109,674 developers on steambase who've ever published on steam, 32,000 of them are supposedly opted into this lawsuit.
Are you enrolled if you're a TBA indie who hasn't published yet? are you enrolled? I have no idea.
if your game is free but you make your money off of ads or micro-transactions are you enrolled? anyone's guess!
do you want the right to sue valve yourself in the future and think you can get a better commission and don't want to be enrolled in a lawsuit against your will? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
god forbid you're a publisher and just don't want any bad blood with Valve.
as it turns out there's no public listing for plaintiffs to inform you that you have been opted in.
Why are we the developers who just want to put pixels to screen and smiles to face being dragged through yet another political circuit? I have no idea.
have you ever even heard of Wolfire Games and Dark Catt Studios? I haven't, guess they represent us now.
I'm not going to tell you how to feel about it, I won't tell you what to do but we have less transparency on this issue than a Picasso through frosted glass. if one of you could please fill the rest of us in, that would be great because I have no idea what's going.
