What are they doing to leverage their dominant position?
At some point you're so entrenched in the market you don't have to do anything anymore. I was quite surprised that Valve somehow evaded EU Digital Markets Act gatekeeper criteria.
Ok but you made a claim that they were leveraging their market position to maintain a monopoly. So please describe how they are doing that in any way shape or form.
There you go: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpwwyj6v24xo
Just because someone claims something to sue a company does not mean it’s true. You gotta go through the whole court process and prove it.
I’ve never seen any publisher claim this, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. But it sure doesn’t sound like that has anything to do with being a monopoly. Epic, GoG, Ubisoft, etc. could all do the exact same thing.
Anyway, thanks for the link. I was not the one to downvote you on your last comment. You did what I asked.
I give up. Are you an American or something?
