Wrong thread. Im drunk

And what has that to do with a monopoly? They forced other developers to sell their game on steam? No, over time it developed into a platform that was just more convenient in so many ways than physical copies, for gamers and developers. Steam wouldn’t have taken off if it was as shitty as the launchers from ea/ubi and so on. And so what if they were the first ? Wow released in the same year and had its own proprietary launcher, so they could charge users monthly. While Steam is free and their servers are free to use. It’not like we wouldn’t live in a world without proprietary launchers it it weren’t for steam, we would just have shitty ones, almost exclusively. Just compare the the movie/tv-show platforms, all the same shit in different shades of brown.

How tf is this a monopoly? There are other mobas you can buy, even on their own store. And if you meant steam, that’s also not a monopoly, there are lots of other stores. Most just suck and are not even beginning to understand why steam has its standing.
