    Feature parity don’t matter if customers basically just use one store.

    People would use more than one store if the other stores had the same or better features.

    It does not matter what their competitors are doing - it plainly is not working.

    The only thing their competitors have done is exist and provide the worst fucking service possible while using anti-competitive tactics to try and get customers. The stupid fucks can’t even attract customers using anti-competitive practices because they just outright refuse to do what customers actually fucking want and then complain it.

      Neat.

      Meanwhile:

      Whatever the underlying reasons,

      customers basically just use one store.

      Which is what a monopoly is.

      • Customers choosing one option over the others isn’t a monopoly, it’s capitalism at work. There are other players, they’re just not as good. Not Valve’s fault they can’t get their shit together.

          Customers having one worthwhile option is in fact a monopoly.

        That is not what a monopoly is. A monopoly is characterized by a lack of choice. People have choice. There is only one good choice, though, and people have chosen it over other stupid garbage that doesn’t even try. Maybe you’d see that if you took Tim Sweeny’s dick out yo mouth for 5 seconds.

          This topic invites the weirdest goddamn replies.

          Maybe you’d see that if you took Tim Sweeny’s dick out yo mouth for 5 seconds.

          It is a failure of moderation that any appropriate response to this baseless insult are equally forbidden.

          Suffice it to say: I already told you, none of this is a defense of Epic.
