Thats not what was said at all.

No competition is not good. But Epic is worse competition, and GOG is halfhearted competition that is an ultimately worse experience for most people.

You literally said "no one is competing on PC."

If you're not arguing against calling that a monopoly, I'm pretty fuckin' sure everyone else missed it.

That's half my sentence, dont add a full stop where there wasn't one in quotes. It makes you a liar.

No one is competing on PC because

And then I list reasons why i don't see the alternatives as credible competition.

"Because" doesn't change what we're talking about. You said: "no one is competing on PC". That's a monopoly. That's you, calling Steam a monopoly. Do you understand that? Saying 'Steam is a monopoly because...' would not change that.
