"The Regional Court of Berlin has dismissed the lawsuit of German consumer watchdog group Verbraucherzentrale Bundesverband ("VZBV") against Valve Inc. over the provisions in company's terms of service that prohibit the sale or transfer of user accounts on the Steam digital distribution platform," reads a statement from law firm Osborne Clark.
The statement continued: "It was the second time the consumer rights activists had sought the help of the courts to force Valve to allow such transfers - both times without success.
"The reasons for the decision have not yet been published, and vzbv may still have the right to appeal the judgment. Even so, the ruling touches on hot issues of European copyright law and may have ramifications for the games industry and the used games market across all EU jurisdictions."
