We learned just how small Valve really is this year, but also how good it is at raking in the cash: It's making more money per employee than Apple

And the share of Valve in the computer video game market is around 75% and even more than 80% in Europe. This company is clearly in a monopoly situation that prevents any competition. This situation is clearly undesirable.

They’re not preventing competition. Valve did not go out of its way to kill Epic, Epic just sucks. They’re not doing anything to kill GOG either.

There’s a difference between a monopoly, and people just choosing one thing over another.

There’s Xbox, but when that’s the alternative it is clear why Steam still dominates

The problem does not come from other plateforms but from the abuse of dominant position.

In what way did Valve abuse their monopoly position?

having a monopoly isn’t illegal but abusing it is
