Quote:The European Commission has fined Valve, owner of the online PC gaming platform “Steam”, and the five publishers Bandai Namco, Capcom, Focus Home, Koch Media and ZeniMax € 7.8 million for breaching EU antitrust rules.
...
The breakdown of the fines imposed on the publishers is as follows:
Videogame publisher Reduction for cooperation Fine (€)
Bandai Namco 10 % 340 000 EUR
Capcom 15 % 396 000 EUR
Focus Home 10 % 2 888 000 EUR
Koch Media 10 % 977 000 EUR
ZeniMax 10 % 1 664 000 EUR
Valve chose not to cooperate with the Commission. The Commission has therefore adopted a prohibition Decision against Valve under the ordinary antitrust procedure and has imposed a total fine of € 1 624 000 on Valve.
