Imagine being so full of yourself that you think saying nothing has any value.
Fun fact: the term “Stockholm syndrome” originates from a hostage situation in which the authorities did not seem to care about the safety of the hostages at all, they regularly put the hostages in danger and the hostage takers were frequently trying to protect the hostages from the actions of the authorities.
In light of that, the hostages having more empathy towards their captors makes perfect sense. However ignorant people who did not understand the details of the event coined the term “Stockholm syndrome” instead of actually listening to the hostages or trying to understand a different point of view.
No, you were literally saying Epic was better than Steam because Epic is doing the same scummy things but just wasn’t around when Steam started doing it.
I never made any claims as to whether I felt those practices are problematic or not, I just pointed out that they both do it so it’s irrelevant in the comparison.
Epic is worse than Steam because of its aggressively anti-consumer practices like paid exclusives.
I was listing all the bad things Steam does and never mentioned Epic. That’s on you projecting so much.
You used the phrase “which one” a lot. That is incoherent nonsense unless you are talking about at least 2 entities. “Which one” was the second entity?

Your use of the term feels very appropriate.
You are literally saying that the Epic store doing the same scummy things as Steam, makes it worse than Steam.
This is why gaming is in the shape it’s in.

Point to where I said that.
The same thing Steam did to secure its monopoly.

That’s not what the word monopoly means

Monopolies are defined by having a large enough market share, even if that ain’t the dictionary definitions you Steamboys cling so tightly too.

So not what that word means.
