Valve decided to sell off? Gabe's company received another lawsuit, but this time about licenses
Valve is facing a third lawsuit in recent weeks — this time brought by PRS for Music, a UK-based organisation that represents songwriters and publishers. PRS claims Steam is distributing games that include music from its members without the correct licence. Titles cited include Grand Theft Auto, Forza Horizon and FIFA (e.g., in-game radio tracks and licensed soundtrack placements). The group says it tried to sort things out with Valve voluntarily but hit a dead end, and now wants overdue payments plus formal licences for future use. It's an awkward legal spot for Valve, with potential ripple effects for publishers, devs and rights-holders.
