    If you have the power to sway the market in the direction that you want, you’re the only one with that power and you’re the default option for your product then yeah, you very much are a monopoly and that’s the position Steam has in its market.

    It’s currently in court for adopting anti competitive policies regarding pricing.

    Valve is a multi billion dollars company, it doesn’t need you to defend it bud.
