I hear you, but also, in capitalism everything turns into, at the very least, oligopoly. So, giving that there is no running from it in any aspect of our lives, let us at least celebrate the good things while they last.
If we pre-complain, what is even the point of them being good?
That idea of “no monopoly/oligopoly” doesn’t exist unfortunately, like, AT ALL, specially in the business of intangible media/goods.
The anti valve campaign is fueled by companies that would get all if they win, as all these movements, they claim to protect the mom and pop indie games, but is bullshit. It would be horrible from day 1, because they are already horrible without having the majority of the clients.
