By your logic they shouldn't be broken because it's the competitors' fault if people don't do business with them instead.

Yes exactly, that's why they shouldn't be broken.

They're consumer friendly and are not taking specific action to BE a monopoly, contrary to many other companies.

There's also enough competition and it's exactly their fault that they fail/refuse to implement what makes Steam so popular.

I'm definitely against monopolies, but mindlessly slapping rules on them just because they're labeled monopolies is some of the dumbest shit I've heard
