Steam itself seemingly isn't trying to have a monopoly.
But damned if there isn't a massive, very-loud Internet contingent that desperately wants them to have that monopoly.
If your immediate trigger reaction is seething anger when someone says, "I got a good deal on a game from Epic".... maybe that's not healthy. The "Lord Gaben" meme isn't meant to be taken 100% literally.
i don't get angry at things that don't affect me lol
i do worry for steam's future, it's only this good because "Lord Gaben" has made many great decisions, it may not be a democracy but a good "dictator" is often more effective than a democracy. But what happens if/when Steam goes to shit for whatever reason? the internet will implode
