It’s almost as if the real money is where the customers are at, and not in little Timmy’s wallet.

    That’s fair. I am probably parroting stuff I hear about the play store or the apple store. Before epic I don’t know many big players steam had to compete with. How much revenue does Gog make compared to valve for instance?

      I don’t know. That’s not relevant to the definition of a monopoly. To be a monopoly you need to be the only supplier of a product or service. If there’s competition, but you have the majority of market share, then you’re merely dominating the market, which is not illegal (or even necessarily a bad thing, as evidenced by Steam).

      Google Play and Apple store are monopolies because they are not competitors to each other, if you own a phone you’re stuck with one or the other with no choices. They also take steps to prevent competition, which is highly illegal.
