Oh no. They've made gaming accessible on Linux, games still run you purchased 20 years ago on the latest hardware and they're not a bloated pile of garbage

If anything, they've actually made things better for everyone

In contrast, if you purchased wii u games, you need to re buy for switch. Ps5, wii u and Xbox all basically are limited to what publishers can sell

I'd even argue they're not a real monopoly because they Don't control the hardware, and there are other platforms
