    You could defend Amazon with that logic. the fact that the barrier of entry is high is exactly what let’s Steam, Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo abuse of their soft monopoly.

    Nothing justifies owning a billion dollars worth of of boats.

        Which is surprising, considering how much money they generate off amazon store.

        All it takes is to give a good service like Valve does. But somehow, as in Zippy’s pic, competition keeps shooting themselves in a foot. Probably due to shareholders that Valve does not have.

          Tbf, I wouldnt even touch Amazon with a kilometer long pole even if the game was free.
          I order on Amazon only if the physical item is the cheaper AND easier option to order from (usually because I can only get thing A but not B).
          If I can avoid it, I will try to.
