    Which they shouldn’t have the option of

    It’s like saying Amazon and Walmart are better than a local shop because they offer more/are cheaper

    They shouldn’t be allowed to compete at that size

      The reason why Amazon is bad is because they undercut their competition to drive them out of business just to then raise prices and create a monopoly. What is happening with Steam and other launchers is the other ones are refusing to compete on features and instead are trying to create monopolies with exclusive games so people would be forced to use an inferior product.

      Creating a limitation that X features aren’t allowed to exist on a gaming client would solve no issues here as Steam isn’t even trying to create a monopoly, they just have the best product currently and everyone is free to out compete them.
