Approach to monopolies is a political thing and that was as free market approach as you can get. Guy self described himself as anarchist in the next comment so I was right to label him that.
if they felt the need to correct you, then your explanation of why they were wrong in doing so isn’t gonna tell me anything other than how stubborn you are.
i’m unsure of who you’re trying to convince what at this point.
I’m not really convincing that guy since I doubt he debates in good faith. He represents American brand of libertarianism - think Elon Musk simps. Old school libertarians like Adam Smith recognised that a free market doesn’t exist without state regulation.
At this point I’m just exposing how childish that American libertarianism is although it seems to be very popular amongst gamers and this community in particular. I don’t mind being inconvenient to people and I know it makes people pause since those mass downvotes say more about them than about me.
e: this is my last reply, this has been fun tho! please continue to exhibit this same 100% self-assurance in other threads, i tend to make a habit of talking to brick walls for funsies ^^

i just think you’re assuming a lot from a few comments here.
e:like the line of thinking here, if i’m following, is that since he likes steam he’s JUST LIKE elon musk simps. that’s legitimately crazy.
I’ve been hanging around here for over a year, I know the vibe. Also autism and great pattern recognition.
so it’s >1 year that you get telepathy?

I’m both dumber and smarter than anyone realises. Saying things that lead to „told you so” is like going through motions now.
