"exposes your wild hyperbole" lmao
your argument is that all these organisations are successively: setting up shop, attempting to compete with steam, and then failing, should be all the proof you need that steam has a monopoly on the PC market
comcast doesn't have less of a monopoly on internet just because google fiber exists in one city somewhere
steam is a monopoly
they're engaging in price fixing, which is pretty much by definition monopolistic activity, by denying publishers the ability to price games lower on other distribution platforms
if ea, the otherwise second largest distributor on the platform, can't compete without crawling its way back to steam, then it's pretty clearly a monopoly
counterpoint: shouldn't we let them have more laundered advertising?
sql syntax doesn't support even itself correctly i fail to see your point
if you don't believe that adding more structure to the absolute maniacal catastrophe that is sql is a good thing then i'm going to start to have doubts about your authenticity as a human being
why are you the way that you are?
which is 2-state, which is why it's powers of 2
'twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
Except for a goblin
And that goblin was me
Clad head-toe in lounge-wear
And screeching with glee
It was basically an aeroplane flying with dead pilots before then
aren't we all
just like the cop that thinks he’s doing good but doesn’t tell on his coworkers when they do something horrible
not telling on your coworkers because they did do something is very different from not telling on your coworkers because they didn't do something
everything else in your experience unfortunately seems to be a failing of society rather than a failing of individuals
gods am i glad microsoft didn't have to dip into their literal trillion dollar valuation to pay independent artists any money at all to advertise the independent developers they're so gleeful to take credit for
