I'm not a fan of Steam simply because it is a form of DRM (and I hate the way library sharing works) but this is such a bs comparison it's hard to take seriously.

Steam is not remotely equivalent to the Apple Store in terms of anti-competitiveness. For one, I do not have to jailbreak my computer to install games outside of Steam and neither does doing so violate the TOS of Steam. In fact, steam literally lets you add non-steam games to it's library as well as let you access features such as the overlay and Steam input.

If anything, Epic Games is the one who is practising anti-competitive behaviour here by trying to force their way into the market by buying out developers over providing a better service.

If they ever took the dominant position in the market over Steam, I would be shocked if we don't end up in a situation that is worse off for both the customers and developers.

Also, "the laws of competitive pressure" only really work out well for the customers unless we have many truly viable competitors. What is far more likely to happen here is an oligopoly and we know how well those turn out.
