There's already monopoly lawsuits going on right now. Subsidizing the Steam Machine could easily be used against them in those cases as evidence of monopolistic behavior

    I mean that just makes me wonder why there’s multiple monopoly lawsuits/investigations against Valve but nothing against Sony, MS, or Nintendo.

    God forbid the one decent company succeed

    These lawsuits are an excuse to force Valve to enshittify. Because being decent to your consumers is unfair competition now

    Would you be of the same opinion with Amazon doing it? Or Microsoft?
