Obviously the unpopular opinion with the neckbeards, but I agree with you. I don't understand the blind love for Steam. I mean it's an effective platform I guess, definitely the better one for sure, but they all are pretty unnecessary. Steam definitely is pretty monopolistic. But whatever, everyone also enjoys paying $1200 for video cards from the same two suppliers, that were a quarter of that price not more than 6 or 7 years ago.

Can you articulate how Steam is a monopoly?
