    That’s exactly why I don’t understand people defending Steam just because right now they are only using their monopoly against the developers but not against the users. One day that will change and move will have seen it coming.

    Same with Google abusing YouTube creators for years but only now when they start pushing against adblock people look for alternatives.

    Too many people are just lazy and complicit

      Valve isn’t publicly traded company, so Gaben is a BDFL.

      Who knows what happens after him. But sure, if there is any other game provider with comparable service, nobody will complain.

      It’s just there aren’t any

      You’re completely right. People suck steams dick are ridiculously hypocritical and blond.

      I was mocked for defending Epic trying to compete withs steam. They’re doing great work for Devs and gamers. But sadly, blind gamers (who claim they hate monopolys) aren’t self aware enough to see the trees through the forest.
