The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    None of that explains how “devs make more money selling on Steam” makes Steam a monopoly.

    Your attempts at Ad Hominin in no way argues that Steam is a monopoly.

    “People shop at Store A instead of Store B” does not necessitate that Store A is a monopoly. Maybe Store B is shit.

      If store B is shit, and there isn’t much else, then everyone flocks to store A. Then store A will be a monopoly.

      You argue like a libertarian, too. As in naming off logical fallacies while completely missing the substance.

        I don’t know what makes me a libertarian in your eyes and I don’t care. The point of the discussion has been about Steam being a “monopoly”, and whatever label you apply to me does not discredit my arguments nor distract from the fact that your posts have no substance other than trying to apply a label to me instead of addressing the arguments being made.

        If store B is shit, and there isn’t much else, then everyone flocks to store A. Then store A will be a monopoly.

        If Store B is shit so everyone flocks to Store A then:

        1. What exactly is the problem? And
        2. What do you suggest people do about it?
