People in the comments are vehemently supporting a monopolist because the monopolist is currently good. No wonder people are so easy to control. If you keep them distracted for long enough, you can take everything they own and they’ll only notice once the lights go off and the chair stolen from underneath their fat asses.
We deserve Trump and every single politician we get because we’re such a bunch of idiots.
First we take down valves “monopoly”, then we yell hurray and watch all the other companies suddenly turn good?
What do you propose should be done?
First, Stopping a monopoly from doing monopolistic things isn’t the same as breaking up the monopoly…
Holding the biggest player accountable for shitty behavior sets a precedent that you’ll keep the rest from doing it, too.
Arguing that any other business would do the same thing in defense of this shitty action, doesn’t help anyone.
Agreed but the issue here is what are the monopolistic things things valve is doing. What’s the shitty behavior we’re trying to hold them accountable for?
Because if we break up a company for good behavior then we’re setting a precedent that other companies with good practices will be broken up too.
Literally no one but you has talked about breaking up/destroying the company.
Price fixing is what these lawsuits are all about. 4 of them now, that I’m aware of.
That’s the behavior being pushed against here. You’d have known that of you read the article. Or any of the others in the past few months as these come out. You should be against that. But your playing the ignorant just asking questions game as interference for the perpetrator instead.
