    Well you are wrong. I am not saying that this situation is fine. I am saying that it is not the individual company that is the main problem but the system that enables them to begin with.

    Just dismantling valve is not a long term solution. It’s short sighted. Without them there would be others in their footsteps. One needs to change the system to change that. Give companies opportunities and they will exploit them. I actually agree with the above comment that legislation / regulation is a solution to this problem.

    That is why I am pissed off that I am called stupid and bootlicker. That is not a good way to discuss things and especially not a good way to get to an understanding.

    And yes I do think that there is a high chance other big tech companies would’ve done worse than valve. Which is not a great endorsement for them to be clear.

      They are the company who pioneered this shit, back in the day they had almost 0 competitors. There’s no law forcing you to use steam. What you are saying is something among the lines that without microsoft some one else would be in charge of a proprietary os.

        Yes, that is exactly what I’m saying.

        Edit: And with Microsoft it’s even more apparent as there were large proprietary operating systems before Microsoft got big.
