I guess it's cheaper to not pay wages to dozens of people for years, instead of just paying fines/for damages when something happens that said employees could have prevented. Because afaik, the only CS I or everyone I ever heard of needed in Steam was refunds - which they grant very reliable. What kind of CS would involve any real legal stuff, even in our beautiful country Bürokratie- äh Deutschland?
