Epic has admitted they're taking a loss at 12%. Also, Epic's store is shit, complete barebones, barely works as a way to buy games.

And valve have admitted they're making more profit than anyone else in the space. I'm not saying they shouldn't be allowed a profit, I'm saying there's an argument that they (and Apple via the Apple store) are taking too much from the work of others

And that argument is idiotic, as proven by the fact that even bribing people to their shitty Epig Store, Epic can't compete with the value Steam provides.

Differently from Apple, Steam hasn't put any barriers in place to stop competitors nor have they forced exclusivity on publishers for their platform.

Irrelevant. Being good and popular doesn't make them not a monopoly
