    A using the monopole to do good. Nobody to blame here, they are winning capitalism without burning everything around too much.

      Valve has by no means a monopoly - they have lots of competition. They are just, hands down, the best game distribution platform available, and by a huge margin. People actively choose them over alternatives that do exist.

      Point being: They are not a monopoly that isn’t bad, they have the influence they have because they are pretty darn good at what they do

        No I don’t mean a monopoly like that, a monopoly of service, they do far better so get most of the market. The best is that this is a good feedback loop, since they doned to proton I switched my PC. To linux and bought a steal deck. And I plan to buy the headset. They give they receive. I know that interested but they do good for now.
