This doesn’t change the fact that they are a de facto monopoly, but gamers defend it because they like steam.

They can be a likeable company and still be a monopoly.

Steam takes 30% of a developers sale. That’s a pretty heft price tag.

People don’t call Steam a monopoly (though it pretty much is) because they don’t mind steam.

Can confirm. I’ve had way more gay men try to be handsy or to try and convince me to fuck around than I’ve seen the other way around.

The scooters that clog up the sidewalks so people can’t use them?

I ride a motorcycle, and the amount of times I’ve had some fucking moron on a scooter do something erratic and almost cause a crash is way more than cars.

These things take up common spaces for people.
