How easily we forget.

Are they really addicts if everyone is an addict? Nearly highest rated game on steam at one point. Maybe it’s just really good crack.

Why not both? Eating a few of the worst offenders sends a message to the rest to accept the taxes without complaining.

The only engagement it gets after an unwanted notification is the uninstall button.

Beep once. Do not speak.

Ya, easy. Stop going to Starbucks. They union bust by closing stores to shit on their employees. Terrible company. If you are a patron of Starbucks, you earned that shitty app and all that comes with it.

Played Terraria recently and this concept you speak of shined in it. Almost forgot how fun discovering new things as you play the actual game was.

Trust us bro. We won’t send it anywhere. 🤞

Warframe is my go to when I just want to blast tunes and murder everything without too much thought.

No more cardboard derivatives.

Get friends with better values.

Have him try deadlock. Valve is a much better option.

Keep going, I’m almost there.

The difference is he was a poor trying to pull himself up. Corporations are glorious entities that can do no wrong in American law.

There is a private server trying to stay as close to the original as possible and still going. Tera Starscape iirc

No, the existing “base line” price will stay as is for the poors. Those with slightly more money however…those will pay more.

Isabelle from animal crossing rip and tear when?

Opinions aside, that’s still not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Monopoly: Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service.

Valve does not have exclusive control of the PC gaming market. The EGS funded lawsuit even says that in the docket. They are only suing on the grounds of the keys issue. I don’t disagree with you that when Newell leaves, things COULD change, but you can’t base the present on the possible future. At this time, steam is on “top” because the vast majority of users have voted with their wallet and time. Not because they are engaged in sweeping anti-competitive backdoor dealings. You know, like EGS does.

That’s not what a monopoly is.

Epic had all the money in the world and tons of time (and users) to create a viable alternative. They didn’t fail because valve squeezed them out, they failed because they refuse to improve their product. In fact, it could be said that Epic wanted to become the monopoly themselves. If they spent half as much effort on their product as they do on lawsuits and exclusivity deals, they would have been a viable competitor. But they didn’t. At the end of the day, it sucks to use. Steam does not.
