    Yes, they have so many great features and help Linux and yadaya… that is them showing their monopolistic power. Having everyone’s main pc library + store + events + now hand held is them extending their grasp throughout the industry. Grow big and wide and heavy, crushing alternatives

    Developers already hurt from the 30% fee. And one day, consumers will feel it too. The monopoly will stop giving a f about them, as their is no reason to, and the company y will be hollowed out for billionaire gain
