BRUSSELS - The European Commission charged Valve, the owner of a video distribution platform, and five game publishers on Friday with preventing EU consumers from shopping around within the European Union to find the best deal for the games they offer.
The case is the latest move by EU antitrust regulators against cross-border curbs on online trade, key to what is seen as a major part of economic growth in the 28-country bloc. “In a true digital single market, European consumers should have the right to buy and play video games of their choice regardless of where they live in the EU,” European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said.
Companies found guilty of anti-competitive behavior can be fined up to 10 percent of their annual global turnover.

Barnier says chaotic Brexit becomes ever more likelyBRUSSELS (AP) — EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier says that Britain's exit from the European Union without a deal 'becomes day after day more likely' after the U.K. parliament again rejected alternatives to the government's unpopular divorce deal. Despite the downbeat assessment, Barnier did say that 'we can still hope to avoid it' through intensive work in London ahead of an April 10 summit. A no-deal Brexit could come as soon two days after that. Despite the difficulties of a chaotic exit, 'the EU will be able to manage,' Barnier said, although he warned that 'not everything will be smooth.'
