It's always wild to see Valve be blamed for another company shooting themselves in the foot (or in this case, yet another company entirely).
Why doesn't matter.
The fact is - there's one store anyone cares about. We have a word for that.
Why does matter. A lot. Just pointing to something and saying it's a problem doesn't help. You need to know why it happened to have any chance of changing things. That you and epic both apparently think throwing cash around should solve it suggests little will actually be done.
You're not listening. This is not about "blame." It's barely about change. It is about the plain meaning of a common word, and how people will point fingers and clutch pearls to avoid acknowledging a simple fact.
Steam is a monopoly. No matter what I say, and no matter what you say. For whatever reason: they have a supermajority market share, on PC. People glibly treat major desired games like they don't exist unless they're on this one store.
