    At some point you’re so entrenched in the market you don’t have to do anything anymore. I was quite surprised that Valve somehow evaded EU Digital Markets Act gatekeeper criteria. That would mean they’d have to ensure interoperability with its competitors which would restart competition, similar to how we got rid of telecom monopolies.

      Ok but you made a claim that they were leveraging their market position to maintain a monopoly. So please describe how they are doing that in any way shape or form.
