Where did I praise exclusivity? If you're going to argue in bad faith then fuck off right away. And yes, you wanting "your library to be unified under one megacorporation" is indeed leading to a monopoly.

I guess you're too young to remember Steam was shit in the initial years as well and people fucking hated it. You're also blaming publishers for making an offer that developers voluntarily accepted, nobody forced them to do it, and most often it's just temporary exclusivity anyway.

Valve literally just gives a shit about the consumer first.

I guess you learned absolutely nothing from the past decades of seeing where capitalism led us and how corporations conduct business. Thinking Valve is going to stay like this forever, especially once Gaben retires or passes away, is just naive. I just hope there's someone else to at least remotely keep them in check by then.
