Forget the ‘big 3’ — it’s just big Steam (www.digitaltrends.com)

Sure, but that's tangential to their market position relative to their competitors. CS2 loot boxes are a problem, but they're not responsible for Steam being the biggest PC game store.

You are completely right. What I meant, is that since PC Gaming is only considered a subset of PC & Console gaming market (as opposed to, say, Mobile gaming), if it were to grow in share within said market, it will likely attract the eyes of regulators who could improve the current situation.

Sorry if I wasn't clear before.
