I'd say it's more of a 'de facto' monopoly, as every other storefront sucks so bad.

It's ironic that Valve doesn't have shareholders forcing horrible decisions that make people hate a platform to maximize short term profits, yet they reap in crazy amounts of money per year in comparison to public companies with dogshit monetization. Funny how that goes huh?
