  • fair enough, no point arguing about definitions anyway

  • That's the entire gaming market. Steam commands 75% of PC gaming.

    Edit: Okay it's not the entire gaming market but I can't find any sources that agree with 20%, only 75%

  • It's 75%. It's not crazy far up on the monopoly scale, but IMO enough to be called one.

    But there is no "limit". If you are the only vegetable seller on the market, you have 100% market share. But as long as anyone else can set up another shop and compete equally, I wouldn't call it a monopoly.

  • There is mild vendor lock-in. If all my games are on steam, why would I buy my games elsewhere. Not to mention the steam client contains the steam store and advertisements for games in said store, so anybody in the steam ecosystem is incentivized to stay there. Games bought in Steam aren't trivially launched without launching Steam.

  • They also lied, it's not a fifth, it's 3/4

  • Wait, a fifth? My bad, that's insane. I don't know a single PC gamer who doesn't have most of their games in Steam, me included. Can you hook me up with a source for that?

    Turns out you are the one lying. Everything I find says Steam has 75% ish market share.

  • It's still a monopoly though. The misconception is that calling Valve a monopoly, is somehow an attack on Valve or blames Valve. It's just a description of Valve's position in the market.

    Also, shame on whoever thinks Valve won't ever abuse this position at some point in the future.

    Funny meme tho, just being pedantic

  • No I love commuting! It's a quick little break to transition from work to home. Not to mention it's prime me-time with nobody to disturb me. That is...

    IF I'M IN A TRAIN OR BUS

    cars are a scourge on our well-being, driving one makes me unhappy.

    also quick shout-out to bicycles, while it's not as relaxing as a train ride, some quick exercise is so much better for mental health than a car drive.

  • Not horribly. If you have quite old/weak hardware you might notice more memory usage and stuff. If you are on a modern machine with decent specs, it won't matter
