They do have that requirement as part of the Digital Markets Act, but I don’t believe that that’s what the case here is addressing. That is not what the article OP posted or the article I linked to is saying: they are specifically saying that what is at issue is sales outside Europe.

Yeah, so it’s just that these “mezha.media” guys mis-summarized the Bloomberg article.
Your edits are correct. The mezha.media site most likely misinterpreted the presser.
This is the 2021 ruling if you’d like more info. Valve just lost the appeal.
