Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam
ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 3 weeks agoFirst, Stopping a monopoly from doing monopolistic things isn’t the same as breaking up the monopoly…
Holding the biggest player accountable for shitty behavior sets a precedent that you’ll keep the rest from doing it, too.
Arguing that any other business would do the same thing in defense of this shitty action, doesn’t help anyone.

Agreed but the issue here is what are the monopolistic things things valve is doing. What’s the shitty behavior we’re trying to hold them accountable for?
Because if we break up a company for good behavior then we’re setting a precedent that other companies with good practices will be broken up too.

Literally no one but you has talked about breaking up/destroying the company.
Price fixing is what these lawsuits are all about. 4 of them now, that I’m aware of.
That’s the behavior being pushed against here. You’d have known that of you read the article. Or any of the others in the past few months as these come out. You should be against that. But your playing the ignorant just asking questions game as interference for the perpetrator instead.
