Any business that has over 4% market rate should be forcibly split.
Steam is not FORCED to compete and innovate or go under, they do that at the whim of the owner. Who can change his mind. Or die, and the company will be inherited by whomever and sloppify.
Heck, anyone shilling that Steam is a good guy - ffs, you do not own the games you bought.
(Why 4%? There are some old studies that at 5% it brings more profit to get rid of the competition, below innovations are the way to get the money).
You haven't owned the games you buy since software licenses became ubiquitous.
My dude, 4% is insanity. If you did that, there would be - at absolute bare minimum - 26 different companies for any given market, including distribution. No one would be able to scale to serve global demand in any way, shape, or form. You'd have to route packages through three different companies in order to get a product to your friend in Switzerland. Any product that got popular would see its parent company split. If someone wrote an OS that was too good and everyone decided it was fantastic, the company would somehow have to split in such a way as to divide the OS share between two companies, which would then negate the point of having the same OS as your buddy.
The problem isn't market share, it's enforced market share. Anti-competitive practices. Lobbying. Buying out competition. These are places that Steam demonstrably is more ethical than its competition.
All Epic had to do in order to capitalize on Fortnite was to make a launcher that was better than (or at least approaching the quality of) Valve's. Instead, when the starting gun went off, they started walking backwards.
My dude. At over 4% market share companies are incentivised to buy out competition and become monopolies because it's more profitable.
Yes. Perfect. Because any and all global companies so far are evil and anti-consumer. Disagree? Name 3.
So yeah, I'm glad we agree, that any company at 4% market share must be stopped from growing, because otherwise all of that happens.
