    Valve lawyers must be on par with Disney or Nintendo because they always seem to pull through.

      No, its just that this was clearly a bullshit case.

      Disney and Nintendo are usually the ones with a bullshit or evil legal action. Valve is usually the target of because they’re very pro-consumer and thus hard to compete with.

      The exception of this is the whole gambling bullshit with CS2 skins, which Valve deserves to be legally scrutinized for. But as far as evil corporate bullshit, Valve is extremely tame.

    As punishment, they must supply RAM for the Steam Deck and Steam Machine.

      I mean, I’ll buy a bazillion ram sticks on credit, based on estimated return for future profits, which if are not realized may necessitate a taxpayer bailout, as long as I can have one steam machine

    Calling the Rothschilds a patent troll is like calling the Marquis de Sade “a bit of a hornball”

    Is it the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothschild_family?

    One of the richest families in the world.

      From what I can find, no.
