we’re talking gaming, of which pc is a niche. a shrinking one at that. nobody is claiming sony has a monopoly on the ps5, ubisoft and wb are seemingry happy to pay them.
but valve created steam, which the publishers willingly signed up for even though both ubisoft and wb games have been on pc for longer than valve has.

It’s 75-79.5% depending on what data you use. Quite a big mistake on your part.
of the pc market, yes. that’s like calling tesla a monopoly when they sold 75% of electric cars.
