You put value in a like-dislike ratio and you think you can educate me?
You haven’t proven me wrong, you’re just another brainlet preaching to a choir of people who seem to be adamant at painting Valve as having a monopoly.
I mean, everyone has their preferred little dillusions, I guess, but an argument of popularity fallacy doesn’t make you right.
Very smart. You learned how to repeat words written in books. You’re probably very proud of yourself.
You still don’t know what a monopoly is, however, considering this is a discussion about Valve and Steam.
But keep trying.
You do not understand what a monopoly is.
It’s a free market, right? Customers choosing what they prefer and all that? And then eventually the one that provides the best price-for-service ratio comes out on top? Something like that, right?
If you want to stop Steam from being so ubiquitous with PC gaming, then create some proper competition. The only one that comes close in my eyes is GOG.
“Gross misconduct” is union busting corporate speak for “workers trying to make a stand for their rights”.
Yar matey! 'Tis be a good life indeed!
Denmark has FH, which stands for “fagbevægelse hovedorganisation”, which is essentially a kind of alliance of unions. The only one not part of this alliance is Krifa and their Faglig Hus (Krifa = kristelig fag).
Same in Denmark, but here we also have overenskomster for specific work places, or kinds of work.
For example, I work for Just Eat. This puts me with 3F Transport Group. They have the transportoverenskomst, which is the groundwork for overenskomster of specific types of jobs, like bus driver, truck driver, or in my case, food delivery. So, based on the transportoverenskomst, we have the madudbringningsoverenskomst.

Excuse me, but birth control is not just a pill, it’s the entire process that includes putting on a condom. And it’s expected of guys to use condoms.
Besides that, there are pills and procedures a guy can do as birth control.
Apples and oranges are often used as two things that cannot be compared, but there is so much that can be compared between the two. They’re both sweet tasting fruits toy can make juice from. They both have tang, at different levels and depending on which strain or what ripeness. The trees they grow on both have leaves, roots, bark…
Really? Because if I use “if I remember correctly” I mean I’m not 100% sure of I do and am completely open for someone else to come along and show me the correct answer.
There are a few times I mean it cynically.
Yeah, such a terrible thing. Let’s remove it! :D
Don’t mind the Aztec decorations in my clinic. :D
Don’t compare all of Europe to France! The French love their despresso, that’s on them.
Was hoping to see more support for Intel cards as much as they’re working on nVidia cards.
Also, Bazaar seems to still lack the ability to browse categories like KDE’s Explorer. It’s still quite inferior in comparison.

I don’t want to sink time into a kind of game that is one step above a point and click adventure game but with the constant need of repeating tasks like they’re house chores.
Riot. Bloodshed.
But Steam isn’t a walled garden, or a monopoly.
Valve has done nothing that monopolistic corporations have done (i.e. Disney or Nintendo). They have kept themselves relatively small, private, and focused on providing one service really well.
Every other competition has only ever tried approaching what Valve does with Steam with shortcuts and quick money grabs.
It’s all fine and dandy to cry and complain about monopolies, but nobody even really tried. Epic’s store was, and still is, a laughing stock. That is what Valve is up against.
