Nothing more disappointing to me than seeing a game I might enjoy... and then it's only available on PC on Epic Games store. Why can't it be available on Epic, Xbox game store and Steam? It's so annoying, like you have no choice but to use Epic... which I would literally do ANYTHING not to use.

Your “source” is an image

Also, Steam's estimated revenue and the PC gaming market are numbers available from various sources. I've pointed out why your source is nonsense, and provided more accurate figures.

uses it to their benefit which doesn’t (in my opinion) coincide with consumer benefit

That's changed from your original 'behave like a monopoly' comment, and which I'm still waiting for clarification on. How exactly do they behave like a monopoly supposedly does?

You post the same data now with article that doesn't even have word "steam" in it. Your various sources weren't linked. I think that clears why your source is "nonsense".

Yes my words are changed because, you somehow read me saying multiple times of steam being monopoly in single use of phrase, steam behaves like a monopoly. I repeat, not liking one store doesn't make me a fan of another, they both are horrible.

As for examples of anti-competitive behaviour, price matching that is being discussed in comments here is a big one, don't you think?
