Oh yes I see it now. You posted it right after my response. And I do agree with what you say there. I however do believe that the destinction between a true monopoly and a dominant market position such as steam has is essentially irrelevant in this context. In a market economy you would expect very few (or even no ? ) true monopolies except those run by the state. And not being a true monopoly doesn’t stop dominant firms from being able exploit monopolistic powers.

However my point is that steam doesn’t exploit it’s market position while it could definitely choose to. On that we seem to agree I think

Steam is pretty much a monopoly because I expect something like 90% of pc game sales go through them. The thing is that being a monopoly is not necessarily bad, or illegal. It is abusing your monopolistic power to exploit consumers that is. Steam doesn’t generally seem to do that

But… Both of these functions are odd?

If you’re really attached to that bed and TV placement you could also just use mirrors? Idk seems easier

According to Wikipedia St Valentine was a bishop in modern day Italy about 300 years before Islam even formed. So while that is a nice story I don’t think it’s true.

People called Romans they go the house?
