  • You are on lemmy, a decentralized and open source platform, nobody here think microsoft is good. If a bunch of evil corporations control the entire videogames market that still count as a monopoly, all of these are shit including Valve.

  • Valve is truly one of a kind company, their marketing has been so effective that they managed to create a culture of idiots that go around the internet defending their products

  • is it a monopoly because they wanted to become one?

    Valve is a for profit company, one of their main goals is to make money.

    It is a monopoly, but because nobody else is even trying. And that pisses me off.

    It is a monopoly because they hooked everyone to their own proprietary third party software launcher, you should be pissed of about not owning any of your games

  • Seriously, how are there still so many people on meta?

    Social networks become part of people life, they use them to talk to relatives, friends and to build communities. Once social networks started to become popular, facebook with the help of governments, rich people and other corporations managed to become the biggest platform, they got so big that they turned into a phone book where everyone was in. Meta used the billions we feed them, our data and their popularity to build/buy other social networks and tools people are now hooked up. In italy whatsapp replaced mails and it's what most people are using to talk with each other.
