"They have a monopoly" doesn't mean they're the asshole.

But they still have a monopoly.

People get so fucking weird trying to deny this. They insist there's good reasons none of their competitors matter, when the question was, do their competitors matter. They proudly state they never consider buying from anywhere else... end of thought. No amount of explanation for why they're the PC gaming store will change that they are the PC gaming store. But the label doesn't mean it's their fault. The label means, it is so.
