GeneralEmergency comments on The nerve of some people, raised in a barn or somethin stg 😤

You used the phrase "which one" a lot. That is incoherent nonsense unless you are talking about at least 2 entities. "Which one" was the second entity?

even if that ain't the dictionary definition

So not what that word means.

The "which one" was in reference to the original comment. Which was about Epic.

So not what that word means.

Words can have multiple meanings in different contexts.

Dictionaries generally (because each one is going to have a slightly different definition) define it as having complete control over a market.

Whereas a lot of the monopoly laws and departments define it as having over a certain percentage of the market share, even if it isn't 100%

So we were talking about epic. Glad we cleared that up.

Dictionaries generally (because each one is going to have a slightly different definition) define it as having complete control over a market.

So it's not a Monopoly then.

And seeing as Valve appears to not be running afoul of these laws, not a Monopoly then.
