Australia fines Valve $2.2 million - briefly
(machismo) 11:17 PM CET - Dec,24 2016 - Post a comment
Australia's federal court has fined Valve AUD$3 million (USD$2.2 million) after ruling that the company breached consumer law when it didn't offer refunds between 2011 and 2014. This is the maximum fine requested by Australia's competition regulator and it's 12 times more than Valve itself suggested it should pay, according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Justice James Edelman said he imposed such a harsh penalty because Valve willfully disregarded Australian law.

To be clear, this is because Steam sold games in Australia, but lacked a method of getting a refund for several years. During that time frame, 21,000 help tickets were made with 'refund' in it from Australian IPs. The initial fine was $250,000, but they increased it since it was viewed as unnoticeable to Valve.
