Oh Sweeney having a tantrum, when hasn't that happened monthly since like 10 years ago? Sweeney if you want more money than what you're already making, then fucking make better products man. Fucking asshole trying to win the game by crying to daddy government and having fits. It would be one thing if he was a small guy being treated unfairly, but this dude is in the elite as well, his company is a big name in the game, but he cries as if he was small potatoes being treated unfairly by big corpos. Fuck off, corpo trash trying to pass as a small boy. If there's a thing more annoying than a corporation being an asshole is an asshole corporation trying to pass as a victim.

You know what I find more annoying then that? Defending a monopoly that's rent seeking to the tune of a million dollars of revenue per employee per year, and that's with most of the employees literally being paid to work on nothing.

In which market is Steam a monopoly?

the one that occupies the vast emptiness of masterspace's cranium, I'd wager.
