Yes Steam is a defacto monopoly. But not through the actions of Valve but through the actions of it competitors.

Valve does not behave like a monopoly, and it takes its money to improve gaming for all.

I would get it if someone here would be really simping for Gabe. But may I remind you all, this is a shitposting community and this is a meme.

If not for Valve and their openness towards Linux, Microsoft would long have followed Apple and made a walled garden out of Windows.

If you want to make sure that gaming is not getting a walled of eco system be Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft, that you need Valve.

Just look at that release: NO AI bullshit, no walled garden, no vendor locking. No locked bootloader’s, repairability and consumer rights are in the focus.

If course you can point out that this is a profit oriented company and everything they do, they do to make money. And I would not argue with that.

But this? What is this? Why?
