You said

more efficient competitors

But now you are saying that they didn't challenge the monopoly? If they dont even challenge then how are they competition?

Steam let's me buy games and play them. The interface with Big Picture Mode let's me interact with the store.

The issue I see is that no one is competing on PC with Steam because they keep trying to tie themselves with the fucking trainwreck that's Windows.

They keep trying to tie themselves with shitty desktop launchers.

They keep trying to tie themselves with toxic customer service.

There is competition, but it's with Sony, Microsoft and their consoles.
