Newell also said in 2023 testimony that Steam's 'unwritten rule' against charging lower prices on other storefronts does not exist.

I really hope Linux will get a bigger market share, thanks to Steam devices, before Steam has to change CEOs and starts the inevitable enshitification.

Because for Linux gaming, Steam’s support for Proton is pretty much a monopol.

Most of 3rd party launchers for other stores also rely on Proton under the hood, IIRC.

Nobody stops EGS to implement Proton. Neither ActiBlizz, Ubisoft or EAs Origin.

The “monopoly” in this case is again just other stores not wanting to do what gamers want. Proton is FOSS and anyone can use it.
