If Aldi only sells apples and Walmart only sells pears, that's not a free market. That's two monopolies. Drag doesn't get a choice who to buy apples OR pears from.

If Aldi starts selling pears too, that's not a monopoly. That's customer choice. Drag can choose to shop at Aldi because of their lower prices and better customer service. Drag can vote with drag's wallet. If Walmart has a deal with the pear farmer not to sell pears to Aldi, that IS a monopoly.

Drag doesn't want to give any money to Epic. Put the game on GOG, put it on Itch, hell, put it on Origin! That would be great for consumers! A monopoly isn't.

Yet I'm sure it doesn't keep you from buying from Steam when games are only on there, right?

Don't talk about wanting a free market if that's not what you want.
