    While I am a Valve fanboy, I still have to agree that Valve is not innocent. There are stuff I hate about Valve doing. But its not about abusing monopoly position (I even argue its not real monopoly position, but that’s not my main point). So yes, Valve is not innocent, but “leave Valve alone” in the context of accusing them to abuse their monopoly position.

    Does Valve refuse to allow third party stores to sell Steam codes like PlayStation is doing here?

      I have a Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, and a gaming PC with accounts at all major pc gaming storefronts.

      Allow me to say again, Valve is not innocent.

  No, go after them all.

  I personally don’t think Valve is abusing a monopoly position, but it should be tested nonetheless.

  Lootboxes and Gambling on the other hand, Gabe has a lot to answer for.
