How is steam a monopoly? People would be excited for EGS just like they are for GoG, except EGS has a track record of anticonsumer behavior. I fear for valve in a post gaben world, and they certainly aren't blameless. They also aren't a monopoly. Hell, steamOS is the opposite of a locked ecosystem. | ||

>How is steam a monopoly It has 90% marketshare and has been shown to use its monopoly uncompetitively to force price parity on devs. Textbook definition. >People would be excited for EGS just like they are for GoG, People "like" GOG. I woildnt say they are "excited for it". The revenue of GOG these years don't reflect the supposed enthusiasm. >EGS has a track record of anticonsumer behavior. Anticonsumer isn't anti competitive. Especially not as a new player in the game. They can't brute force this stuff with money like a trillion dollar company could. > Hell, steamOS is the opposite of a locked ecosystem. I'll believe that when they release a full distro with all the feature the Steam Deck enjoys. | ||
