‘Valve’ Gets Some More Time To Reconsider Their EULA Says VZBZ

We recently talked about the threat of legal intervention by German consumer advocacy group, VZBZ, in regards to Valve’s new EULA for their online service Steam. The deadline for them to reconsider and change their EULA WAS tomorrow. Now VZBZ have just released a statement regarding this date.

Valve has a new deadline (10.10.2012) to respond to our letter now. Maybe after this time we will resolve the dispute in the court.

Whoa. Things just got steamy for Valve. After basically ignoring the request to adjust their agreement with users in order to comply with EU law, which states all software must be able to be resold EVEN online purchased games, the consumer advocacy group is ready to bring them to court.

Lets see what happens to Valve and Steam, from what it appears the Good Guy in the market may turn into a Not So Good Guy and end up in EU court.
