    I hope they bill Sony ten times of what they are losing out on now. They need to set a precedent that no other publisher will want to repeat what Sony did.

      Yeah, they’ve got to come up with some publisher-aimed punitive actions, because this is frankly indefensible.

        Charge 30% of sales and 100% of refunds.

        These companies are obsessed with money. The money they lost on refunds forced by Steam is the punishment.

          I’m just not sure if the refund goes all the way back to Sony, or if steam is fronting the loss. If the latter, I imagine punitive action would be figured out pretty quickly.

            It seems that steam pulls refunds directly revenue in most cases which means that the publishers and studios feel an immediate impact in their numbers from them.

            Valve may choose to absorb some of the refunds but I don’t see why they would. Sony made the games unplayable in certain regions while telling Steam they wanted the game sold in those exact regions beforehand. They misused the store and I’m sure they paid dearly for it with those refunds.
