Having the biggest audience to the degree that they do absolutely makes them a gatekeeper. If Steam became predatory tomorrow it would have a catastrophic effect on the consumer friendliness of the current PC market because you wouldn't have anywhere else to turn for many games. GOG and Itch don't have nearly as large of a selection of mainstream stuff.

Right, that's the article that doesn't explain why they're doing it.
I've seen so many edits of this comic I realized I no longer remember the original
Why are they doing it? Legal troubles? I didn't see any explanation in the article.
Now I need to find a let's play for this...
What is this animation from?
I don't know if they will be a good choice for where you live, but look up "Sur La Table". They're a high end cooking supply store from my area and they do ship. It's going to be pricier than Amazon, but they only sell good stuff.,
Rain outside my window in the garden. Maybe not the MOST, but it's up there.
I recently got an Asus zenfone 10. I usually buy midrange phones but this time I couldn't find a good one. I like small phones, and they seem to be an endangered species these days. This one also has a headphone jack which is nice.
You would think! 😅
Oh wow, that sounds like a great example
It's not their fault they're gatekeepers, it's a symptom of their success. The biggest platform will have a much greater pull inherently, and it should be their responsibility to act fairly because of that position. Thankfully they seem to take that seriously so far. We can only hope it stays that way.
