What is going to happen now? Sony will most likely talk to Valve to block their games on xbox consoles even if the consoles have a native Steam app. That's all.

Is Valve able to distinguish what device you are using to access Steam to be able to block it?

I'm not a PC gamer, so I'm unfamiliar with how this works.

Edit: Secondly, would Valve just block it out of the goodness of their heart, or would they want monetary compensation for each game?

Yeah, they collect certain data to see how you’re using Steam to ensure you’re not using any sort of malicious means. They would most likely scan what OS you’re using to access Steam. If the heavy rumor turns out to be true.

Valve would certainly not do it out of the goodness of their heart lol. They’ve adjusted things based off country’s blocking loot boxes or when Sony enforced PSN requirements in games where Steam operates but PlayStation does not.

Blocking games from specific devices would be a first though lol
