Consumer response to Valve's "my way or the highway" was surprisingly muted (well, it wasn't all that surprising, really) but German consumer group Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband (Federation of German Consumer Organizations), heretofore referred to as VZBV, isn't satisfied with the change. It said that the choice of agreeing to the new terms or facing the loss of all Steam content amounts to "coercion," and it has given Valve until September 26 to respond to its demands that the content denial provision be changed.
If Valve refuses to do so, or fails to respond to the demand, the VZBV may elect to take the matter to court. The most likely outcome is some kind of compromise that accommodates German and/or E.U. law, but in a theoretical worst-case scenario, Valve could decide to simply drop Steam support in Germany.
