Last year, they all came crawlin' back to Steam, and this year was another strong one for Valve.

From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin’ back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

Monopolies are bad. Period. End of story.

You probably identify as leftist yet here you are shilling for corporate capitalism the moment you like the product.

I don’t identify as neither, I do no follow politics, nor do I care about some left right bullshit.

But yeah, if a product is good, I do recommend it if there is discussion. Your regular Joe is not gonna build his own home printer, he goes to the store and either buys an HP, or a Brother. They don’t know how to pirate games, they go to a launcher and buy it there.

You have to understand that not everyone has the freedom to choose, because they simply don’t have time or don’t give a fuck, and settle for something that someone recommends.
