arguing against a point that literally no one has brought up in this post
You’re not being downvoted here because you’re wrong. You’re being downvoted here because you’re bringing up this argument you had with other people outside of this thread in a way that provides zero context and in an accusatory tone.
Even your “Dry statement” was just uncalled for. We get it. You learned what monopoly means and you wanna share it with the world. You even go so far as to say Alan Wake took so long to make a profit because Valve is a monopoly. OK sure Valve is a monopoly. Maybe, it’s one reason AW took forever to turn a profit. But you know what else could cause that? Epic absolutely sucking.
People fall over themselves to demonstrate what I’m saying.
I mention that it’s a monopoly - ‘shut up, no it isn’t.’ I mention the people who say it isn’t - ‘shut up, of course it is.’ I start from scratch - ‘shut up, what are you talking about.’ I provide two years of context - ‘shut up, that’s not in this thread.’
What sequence of words would avoid this abuse? What possible sentence would address the actual issue, without people acting like I’ve insulted their mother’s cooking?
Nobody cares about what you have to say, don’t agree with your point, or don’t find it relevant to the conversation so don’t be surprised when people tell you so. If all you want to do is people agreeing with you, start a community with like-minded people. I honestly don’t know what else to recommend you. Good luck on the internet.
If I have demonstrated anything in all my years online, it is that I am ready and willing to argue. But it’s not an argument if the other side is just saying words recreationally. That seems to be the case here, when no amount of pleading for specifics or alternatives results in anything besides ‘shut up.’
Meanwhile:
The actual topic remains that Valve is a monopoly. In what universe is that not relevant to this article about their largest competitor being so unimportant they can’t give things away? If everyone here takes that for granted, great… so why am I getting the same response as the many times people deny it? Even the meta discussion about phrasing is fraught and confrontational, regardless of what I’ve actually said. Have I offended you in some way?
No one here disagreed with the fact that it’s a monopoly.
You very first comment in this thread was in a condescending tone as if to say we here don’t agree with you. Then we told you about your tone. Then you said you refused to be silenced due to tone.
Nobody is arguing here and then you started mentioning how others in other posts argued and told you to shut up.
Like what the fuck do you want? You came in here swinging and bitch when people engage. So fuck off.

Maybe not saying anything.
Further abuse.
