Australian Consumer Watchdog Takes Valve To Court

Posted by samzenpus on from the time-to-sue dept.

angry tapir writes The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, a government funded watchdog organization, is taking Valve to court. The court action relates to Valve's Steam distribution service. According to ACCC allegations, Valve misled Australian consumers about their rights under Australian law by saying that customers were not entitled to refunds for games under any circumstances.

    Yeah, but they don't give you the refund because of consumer law, they give it to shut you up.

    I have gotten refunds off them in the past, and mentioned this law in the request and they stated it doesn't apply to them. I guess the ACCC think otherwise.
