Valve Corporation makers of Steam are facing yet another lawsuit, this time around video game audio from the Performing Right Society (PRS) in the UK.

    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
