Monopoly's themselves are not necessarily bad. Its when they use the monopoly to spread into other areas where it becomes the problem.

    Just because monopolies can have a fanbase, doesn't mean they don't negatively impact society.

    The cult behind Steam doesn't understand the problem that will arrive once Gabe retires. The amount of power they gave this single entity will come to.bite them in the ass.

    It's not like there are any better options.

    GOG perhaps, but that doesn't strive to deliver the conveniency, and ignores Linux players.

    Epic? Lol.

    Any other private company launcher? Well, just no.

    Everyone will be gone one day, Gabe, Linus Torvalds... but that doesn't mean other people don't share their values and the original idea will be gone too.
