Amazon, gog, uplay, origin and others

Bethesda launched Bethesda.net not long ago. If it catches on I'm sure they will use it for their next games.

At least with steam being big we only need 1 account and 1 programs to run games.

I certainly don't want to have to run more than 1 program and 1 account for my games.

Because people buy on steam because it's more convenient to have 1 program and 1 account for all your games than 10 different programs ruining and managing 10 different accounts just to fucking play video games.

It's like saying Google is a monopoly because people don't use bing or yahoo.
People don't use them because they're shit.
Having shit competitor doesn't make it a monopoly. It just make it the best option.

There is no competition when one company owns near everything, you tard. As soon as you have monopolies or near monopolies, you don't have a free market. They control it.

Like 13 years and they still don't have half decent customer service.

And it probably would be trying to ruin its competition, if it had any that it needed to take seriously. I believe I read somewhere that nearly 80% of digital games are bought through Steam. Why bother to undercut competition you don't have?
>>
>>321461989
Guess you better make a competing business and undercut the competition. Once the customers learn about you and start switching, the big guys will have to lower their prices to compete with you.

You know, like the free market.

>>321460940

Monopolies are actually really bad for free markets. You stamp out any opportunity for competition and growth thus contradict the idea of a free market. It was heavily frowned upon in the 19th century US before communism ever took off as a mainstream ideology.

So I'm assuming you're a thieving kike or a Valvedrones zealot.

You can't. That's the point of a monopoly, you tard. They can afford to undercut you and your starting business and have you out of business in months. They have the field rigged in their favor, they collude to crush any kind of new competition while trying to crush each other.

I'm convinced you're either a shill or retarded.

A monopoly is not a free market. It's basically a market that is regulated by a single dominant company and is almost always regulated in a way to maintain the dominance of that single company.

You can argue that a monopoly can arise from a free market but it is not a free market situation itself. We have a regulated market specifically because it was found time and time again that a monopoly is almost always inevitable when you have a truly free market.

If you can't become a monopoly due laws or restrictions, then the market is not free. It's simple as that.

Exactly.

And if those restrictions are dictated by a monopoly then the market is not free same as if they were dictated by the government.

The difference is the restrictions dictated by the government are intended to maintain competition and for the betterment of the market and consumers as a whole, the restrictions dictated by a monopoly are not.

I haven't been shifting goalposts, you're trying to argue that a network wide security fuck up is completely normal and ok even though not even Sonyggers or Xbots tried defending their major network wide fuck ups.
You literally proved my first post right the second you started posting. We deserve compensation but you're so busy trying to perpetuate the PC Master Race meme that you want to try and call this shit innocent.

>>321464968

There have always been laws in a capitalist society that are designed to make sure that competition is not undermined and companies do not get too powerful where they govern a specific or multiple industries.

Hey guys, I just literally came back from streaming vidya for 11 hours on Twitch

What the fuck happened?

I never logged in or out since early morning (central Europe) and all I did on Steam was start and end a game a few times, how fucked am I?
>>
>>321465727
actually, what I'm trying to say is that it wasn't that big of a deal. compensation is not required.
When PSN was hacked it was found that the CC info was not even encrypted on their servers, that's a security issue, and a major fuck up.
This 'security fuck up' will not lead to anything harmful, because only the last 4 digits of a card were exposed.

Literally the first thing i said was that we deserve compensation and that Valvedrones will inevitably try to deny that. You are literally proving that correct.
For the record anon, Compensation is never fucking required unless through a class action lawsuit.
It's called Public Relations and even if you think you know better, there's a couple million Steam users who spent about 4 hours in a frenzy because of incompetence. We deserve compensation because of the mass hysteria this all caused and the fact that it could've been prevented.

now that is something we can agree with, Valve PR is awful and if I remember correctly they said they were going to fix that shit three years ago. It's pretty bad that they still haven't said anything about it, aside from one community moderator on a steam community post.
Maybe I can agree on compensation to a certain extent - but I don't mean monetary. I mean something like Valve announcing it'll change its horrid customer service so the next time this happens we can actually be updated throughout.

>Steam is back up and running without any known issues," a Valve spokesperson told GameSpot. "As a result of a configuration change earlier today, a caching issue allowed some users to randomly see pages generated for other users for a period of less than an hour. This issue has since been resolved. We believe no unauthorized actions were allowed on accounts beyond the viewing of cached page information and no additional action is required by users."

Pic related.

Monopolies only arise when there are regulations put in place ON start-up/minor companies. When massive corporations are in cahoots with legislation, they pass regulations that hurt competition. When there is minimal regulation, if X company is unfairly raising prices or being shitty to workers, unhindered Y company will offer the same product for less/give workers better conditions to win them over. People mistake current American corporatism as a true free market, which it's objectively not. Serving corporate interests is the opposite of a free market.

So yes, the free market will fix monopolies, just like everything else. Ayn Rand did nothing wrong. :^)
>>
But valve does not have a monopoly. How does Origin and GoG exist? Yes they are the biggest company but they are not a monopoly. Also monopoly can't arise from free market, there can be a situation where there is only one company in some market but the moment they try to use the fact that they are the only company and arbitrarily raise the prices, competition can come and produce the stuff at a better price, in a free market they don't have the right to stop the competing companies by force.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea the wall. The will would stem the flow of border crossers, but hardly put a dent into the illegal drug trade here in the U.S.
