I grab everything on Epic and use playnite to browse my collection.

I recently started playing Gravity Circuit and it is great!

But Steam's totally not a monopoly, you guys.

No, the word does not mean competitors don't exist. It means they don't matter.

No, the label does not mean we have to shatter Valve. Having market dominance and abusing it are different things, but we still need to recognize when a company fffuuucking obviously has it.

If Gaben suddenly announces he's sold it all to Larry Ellison, that has ruinous implications for the entire PC gaming market, despite the fact Valve does not strictly own PC gaming. They don't have to, to be an outsized influence, to the point most people will readily admit they only buy from one store. We have a word for that.
