    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

        In the kingdom of the blind, the one who have one eye is king. (Or some thing like that)

      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.
