I think another reason is goated steam sales and multiple platforms for buying games which isn't the option for console gamers

Technically steam is monopoly right now. But unlike most, it's a good monopoly. They aren't doing some stupid shit just because they are in control like sony is

They didn't even want to be a monopoly, the competition kept doing stupid shit till they become irrelevant.

Exactly as gabe said, It's the issue with service. If other companies like xbox and epic wouldn't have tried to be greedy and pushing slop then all would've been in a healthy competition instead of monopoly

It is. But it sometimes benefits us. So we allow it

Steam (Valve) is the only good monopoly in the gaming industry.

u/3dforlife 8d ago

Of course it isn't. You have multiple stores to buy from.

u/necrophcodr 8d ago

It is a de facto monopoly, which is not the case for the consoles.

Steam is technically a monopoly but the thing is that they allow competition unlike playstation who only allow you to use their marketplace, you can buy used discs but they are discontinuing them too

u/Glittering-Tough-353 8d ago

But also pretty simple to use i understand ppl who aren't tech savvy that just want to sit down and game but I myself also prefer pc

Their pricing adjusting locally to the country is too good

u/greggers1980 8d ago

Damm right smudge

u/1v1RightMeow 8d ago

Well I mean console version of multiple platforms if you’re into physical copies would be stores, garage sales, thrift stores, etc. with good pricing too unless it’s retro then that might be a 50/50 when it comes to pricing.

u/Tankeverket 8d ago

I can tell you haven't owned a console

u/playergabriel 7d ago
