Comment on Steam is basically a PC gaming monopoly, so why isn’t anyone mad?

It’s important to know who the bad guys are and what are the tools they use. We (gamers) should be focusing on the DMCA and publishers that use DRM. DRM providers are a simptom of laws that allow people to be screwed, not the problem it’s self.

This is above my pay grade. I’ll never select a game for anything other than it’s enjoyability.
I definitely regret chaining myself to Steam…even if I didn’t know what I was getting myself into at the time. if I want to continue play the games bought there…I have to use Steam forever. Should be illegal.

I’m not advocating that we stop buying games. Life is to short, do the things you love and enjoy. It’s you last sentence that is the key part, “should be illegal”. That is what we need to focus on. DRM and platform lockin should be illegal. Now let’s make that happen.
