    I’m not a lawyer so I have no clue about the legal issues, but I’m more than happy to put my name to anything that costs a corporation money. I don’t even need the money. They can take it out of Valve’s pocket and burn it for all I care.

      Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.

      I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.

      Great, you should focus your efforts on different companies, Valve is one of the few good ones (for now).

      Most of these seem to just put most of the money into corporations run by lawyers, so that doesn’t make much sense. Transferring money from one corp to the next.

      Millions going to the lawyers and pennies going to the actual victims of the suit.
