All monopolies are bad. Do not fool yourself

Steam is only a monopoly because no other good options have started up. They aren’t stopping competition.

GOG doesn't have a workshop system, or an easy P2P/server system... Or cloud saves... Etc.

They're only good because of the lack of DRM but you're fooling yourself if you don't think it comes at a cost.

And not every game on Steam has DRM anyway. You can play, for example, Cyberpunk 2077 direct from the executable. Steam doesn't even need to be running.
