  only way to stop them from being monopoly would require anti-consumer actions, penalizing them for providing better service than others (which is what i assume is the goal of the “competitors” such as epic so they dont have to provide good service to compete).

  Imo, these things should always be done user interests first, companies will manage always anyway. In the worst case the ceo can buy few yacts less.

  But yeah, Valve going bad would be a catastrophe for gaming.

  And no one will do anything to stop it—just hoping and praying that Gabe doesn’t die or turns ‘evil’ to them.
