Yeah, to say a successful business is a monopoly because it is far reaching is absurd.

Call me when Good-Old-Epic-Steam launches.

The fact that there are tons of games only available on steam should tell you it's a monopoly.

It's fucking shocking to me that so many people here actually believe that Valve isn't a monopoly. You must have your head way up your ass.

How many games are actually steam exclusive on PC though, not counting 50 cent shovelware crap? A good chunk of the best selling PC games ever (minecraft for example) are not even available on steam.

I just went through the top 10 on steam and other than counter strike, which is literally made by valve, all of them are available elsewhere.
