    Who asked them to?

    Being a monopoly is not a crime. Not in itself. But it’s still a thing, and it’s not complicated, and Valve has one.

    Why Steam’s competitors do not matter… does not matter.

    What makes Steam a monopoly is that they don’t matter.

        My guy, even the first sentence on Wikipedia specifies “unfair” monopolies.

        There’s like five clarifications just in the Background section about how it doesn’t cover businesses which capture the whole market simply by being the better choice. Those are still monopolies. By definition. Mono meaning one and poly meaning how are we still talking about this?
