    No, the PC videogame market is too small for the European Union to analyse it.

    Then please provide ANY form of facts-based analysis that Steam is a monopoly and no “Trust me, bro” isn’t that.

      The European Union considers some companies to be a monopoly with a smaller market presence than Steam has in the PC video games sales market. That comes from your own source buddy.

        That comes from your own source buddy.

        You continue to deflect that you have no proof that Steam is a monopoly.

          Your whole argument to show that it isn’t is based on ignoring their market dominance and referencing the DMA that hasn’t even been used to analyze Steam’s position in their market because the PC video game market as a whole isn’t big enough to be covered by the DMA.

            You have no proof that it isn’t either 🤷

            The proof, that I already mentioned, is the fact that no antitrust agency anywhere convicted Valve of anything related to monopoly.
