遊戲開發商Wolfire針對Steam平台發起反壟斷訴訟
https://playgame.wiki/news/71c599554e
《復仇格鬥兔》和《接受者》開發商Wolfire Games近日針對Valve公司提起了反壟斷訴訟
,稱Valve從Steam開發者的收入中抽取“極高份額分成”,對PC遊戲分銷領域存在“毋庸
置疑的”壟斷。
這起訴訟是在2021年4月27日發起的,Wolfire Games和其他兩名原告William Herbet與
Daniel Escobar共同參與訴訟,後兩人均表示Valve的“反競爭措施”導致他們在PC遊戲
上付出了“超出競爭力的價格”。
原告表示,Steam擁有者和運營者Valve公司目前統治著PC作品的分銷領域,約有75%的PC
遊戲銷量要通過Steam渠道,並表示“Valve利用這個統治地位從通過其商店出售的每一單
中抽取極高份額抽成”。
訴訟顯示,Valve從Steam開發商和發行商處抽取30%傭金,根據最新的GDC產業報告調查顯
示,只有少數開發者認為這個傭金比例合理。
當然,部分賺錢比較多的開發商可以從Steam中拿到更高份額。根據Valve的收入等級系統
,當遊戲收入超過1000萬美元的時候,其收入分成就會調整為75/25,達到5000萬美元的
時候,分成就會調整為80/20。
不過,對大多數Steam開發者來說,30%的傭金還是一個標準,在Epic遊戲商城將分成比例
設定為88/12之後,業界不少廠商開始重新審視這一標準。微軟上周也跟進了這一標準,
表示通過Windows商店銷售遊戲的PC開發商從2021年8月1日開始可以拿到88%的收入。谷歌
和蘋果都已經有所行動,削減其商店中小型開發者所要支付的傭金比例。
訴狀中寫道:“Valve之所以能抽取如此之高的傭金是因為他們努力壓製競爭以保護其市
場統治地位。很多其它商店都已經嘗試降低傭金比例,範圍在10-15%之間,但他們都沒能
成功獲取市場份額。”
“Valve濫用其市場力量以保證遊戲開發者除了讓自己的遊戲上Steam平台之外別無選擇,
在這裡他們只能被迫接受Valve的30%費用比例。”
訴狀還表示Valve利用Steam平台“非法壟斷PC桌面遊戲分銷市場”,積極地“通過Steam
Key比價條款扭曲市場競爭”,使用Steam探索算法與其比價需求相結合,“人為地在業界
製造通貨膨脹”。
訴狀寫道,其它“財大氣粗”的公司比如EA、微軟、亞馬遜和Epic都在挑戰Valve的統治
和“反競爭限制”的過程中敗下陣來,Wolfire聲稱這就是Valve的壟斷力量是“完全無法
戰勝”的證據。
Wolfire自己也有數字分銷經驗,他們曾在2010年創辦並運營了Humble Bundle。Humble
Bundle是Wolfire聯合創始人Jeffrey Rosen腦力勞動的產物,根據領英顯示,他在2011年
離開工作室,正式成為Humble Bundle的CEO,並將其擴展成擁有數字商店Humble Store和
發行部門Humble Games的公司。
Humble Bundle被IGN母公司Ziff Davis收購兩年後,Rosen於2019年卸任CEO,但仍擔任顧
問角色。
目前Wolfire的訴求是金錢賠償,包括律師費、三倍賠償和“金額待定”的另一筆費用。
該工作室還要求法院頒布禁製令,包括對Valve非法行為的永久限制,這種限制將會讓
Steam的整個商業模型徹底重做。
====
看國外那的討論不少人都是在看笑話...
Humble Bundle跑去告Steam要賠償。
然後還說抽成降低的平台還是競爭不過Steam。這點也很妙,國外網友那也在說你們這些
平台那個有提供Steam水準的服務再來說競爭不過Steam。
