From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin’ back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

    No one wants Steam bankrupt, they just want more than one videogame vendor on PC to be viable.

    “Mumbo jumbo about competition” I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or are just legitimately a braindead moron.

      There are exceptions to the notion that competition is good. If we attempt to map out all the exceptions, we will be left with mumbo jumbo. Economic libertarianism is the true death of the brain. Some monopolies are good and any threat to the monopoly is a threat to the consumer.
