Their market dominance isn't because of anticompetitive practices, it's because of customer-friendly practices. People like it, so people use it.

So? A private company having control of the market is never a good thing, no matter how good they are at the moment because you never know what will happen in the future.

people like it

So?

So if people trust a platform it's hard to build an anti-trust case because the owner has a majority share.

It's okay if you don't like them for whatever reason, but comparing them to google, apple and Disney is ignorant at best, dishonest at the very least.

Rethink this stuff before you put yourself up as a reactionary lmao

Alright then, let's do nothing until Newell dies and they become controlled by someone else that people don't like as much, maybe you guys will wake up then.

"Let's wait for them to start doing illegal stuff before we use the law against them." Yeah, of course.

So let's wait for the behemoth to really hurt the market enough that we notice it before we do something to prevent it from happening.

And people wonder why the world is turning to shit.

You still have yet tob porpoise any same solutions.

What do you propose they "break up" into?

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I don't know, what do you think the solution to Reddit was? 🤔

Oh that's right, we're on a decentralized platform and you guys are defending the company centralizing everything PC gaming under their umbrella. I FUCKING WONDER WHAT THE SOLUTION COULD BE?
