2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

Even Valve gets sued, while being on an open platform and having real competition unlike the single stores on consoles. Next sue Nintendo for having monopoly on handhelds, in the same vein as Sony on consoles and Valve on PC platform.
Sony is accused of abusing its dominant market position by forcing digital game and add-on purchases exclusively through the PlayStation Store, keeping prices artificially higher than physical alternatives.
Fair enough. If you buy a game physically from a store, you still have to buy its DLC and expansions directly from the PS Store, and it can’t be priced competitively.
See, UK, go after Sony. Leave Valve alone.
Valve is not innocent.
While I am a Valve fanboy, I still have to agree that Valve is not innocent. There are stuff I hate about Valve doing. But its not about abusing monopoly position (I even argue its not real monopoly position, but that's not my main point). So yes, Valve is not innocent, but "leave Valve alone" in the context of accusing them to abuse their monopoly position.
Found the Sonyboy.
I have a Playstation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and a gaming PC with accounts at all major pc gaming storefronts.
Allow me to say again, Valve is not innocent.
