This is so stupid. The lawsuit is for game music in general and not games by Valve themselves.

PRS directly mentioned the likes of "EA SPORTS FC™, Forza Horizon and Grand Theft Auto" and how Valve "has never obtained a licence for its use of the rights managed by PRS on behalf of songwriters, composers, and music publishers".

So fucking stupid, I see this flopping

Hmm, they should try suing record stores next.

I bet all these lawsuits against Valve are tied to a group formed by Epic & Microsoft among others.
