Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly (twitter.com)

You try to use that as proof, yet the European Union just didn’t check what’s happening in that market at all!

Funny how nobody other random commentators on the internet and their "Trust me, bro" line of evidence sees Steam as a monopoly and you people conveniently keep forgetting that the biggest PC games – Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite – are not on Steam and the combined active user base of those three games dwarf the active Steam user base. So the gatekeeper list by the EU does not count. Great. Where are the antitrust rulings on Steam by the USA, the UK, Japan, Brazil, Kenya, or any other regulatory body on the planet?

"This video game store isn't a monopoly because these video games by three different companies have more daily users when combined together!"

I hope you realise how little sense that makes...

As a video game store they are the biggest one in term of total users and number of games for sale, are you questioning that?

How many users get Fortnite from Epic Games Store and how many get Minecraft from Microsoft Store? What does the “Trust me, bro” line of evidence say about those? None of you provide anything facts-based after all...
