You’ll have to forgive me for not trusting MS and their leadership after observing over a year of constant fuckery and failure.

NO, it will only be hurt by updates, win 10 has been more stable than ever since they fucked off to molest and ruin windows 11 with AI slop.

The AI ruse that fooled the greedy gigacapitalists, you mean? The perfect optical ‘justification’ for devastating a workforce and liquidating functioning businesses to enrich the management and owner class, you mean? The one you will soon claim failed because it was everyone else’s fault rather than your over-eager gullability in endorsing the digital snake oil to beign with? At risk you say?!

Oh… Oh no, please… stop.

Tepid take: The only people calling Steam a monopoly are the loser competitors who can’t find a more extortive business model that will actually compete in their quest to syphon wealth out of the gaming ecosystem. Also ‘news’ outlets that are being paid to assert this narrative, and dumbshit reactionaries who believe those narratives. Sorry Epic CEO, you can’t cry and shit your pants into forcing a successful company to make room and give you a cut. The market will ony respond to a better product here, and Epic ain’t it. EA learned this lesson with their shit-ass Origin product years ago, brand loyalty takes a long time to build and is a powerful variable, and steam is good at not fucking with the gamers, or at least only within parameters of acceptability, it appears.
