Because of the way they act at the moment, it doesn't mean that they're not in a monopoly position.
Turns out it's simply because the EU didn't even study their case because the PC gaming market is too small to bother 🤡
Well, the EU made a list of monopolists in digital markets and decided that Valve is not one of them and that has nothing to do with current behavior.
Find me a source confirming that they actually studied Steam's position in their market. They have specific criterias, including financial and user ones, and Steam doesn't meet them... oopsy!
Find me a source confirming that they actually studied Steam’s position in their market.
I found a super recent source that does not list Valve as a monopolist. Maybe you should go and find a credible source other than "Trust me, bro" that Steam is a monopoly.

So Steam does not rake in so much money to hog the market and also does not have enough users to hog the customer base. If anything is an oopsy, it's you accidentally admitting that Steam is not a monopoly. Good we cleared that up!
No, what I'm saying is that they didn't check the PC gaming platform market at all because it doesn't fit the criterias necessary for them to pay attention to it, which means that Steam not being on the list doesn't mean they're not a monopoly. You try to use that as proof, yet the European Union just didn't check what's happening in that market at all!
There's tons of monopolies they don't list because the market they're in is too small to bother, it doesn't mean they're not monopolies.
