If there is one thing confuses the F out of me, it's the "Steam is a monopoly" bs. They do nothing to stop people from selling games on other platforms. How would one even "break them up"?

The only way I can rationalise it is that people want to destroy anything that is making lots of money or is doing better than them in life.. just some weird jealousy thing.

On that same thread someone was asking when people were going to start benefitting from all that money valve makes... Like what ? Dude thought he was entitled to some of that money

WTF? Benefiting from the money Valve makes? I mean, while yeah, that's really just dumb, but in a way, we are absolutely benefiting from it because they use that money to make, maintain, and constantly improve the best game store online. Oy vey.
