Love the ad hominems, do keep them coming ๐
Yeah that's exactly what my bashing of their pathetic excuse at a storefront was implying.
You're comparing the cost of building a simple software platform (and face it, Steam isn't THAT complicated to replicate from a technical perspective) to a company hiring tens of millions of people worldwide for billions of man hours and hardware depreciation. Your estimates are so unrealistic it's hilarious.
