Steam does nothing and still wins

This satirical meme uses crude stick figure and Wojak art to comment on the video game industry. Multiple major game publishers and platforms including Ubisoft, Blizzard, EA, Nintendo, Epic Games, PlayStation, and Xbox are depicted as decapitated/exploding stick figures, representing their repeated anti-consumer decisions, failed launches, and self-inflicted reputational damage. The Steam platform is shown as a calm, unharmed Wojak character standing to the right. An angry bearded Wojak points at Steam and yells "Monopoly!", mocking common accusations that Steam holds an unfair monopoly, when in reality all competing platforms have actively harmed their own user bases while Steam avoids self-sabotage to remain dominant. A small GOG (Good Old Games) mascot appears as a minor, largely irrelevant competitor in the bottom right corner.

This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit via RSS feed. It references widespread gamer frustration with major game companies' unpopular consumer choices, paired with the long-running discourse around Steam's dominant market share in PC gaming and frequent accusations of it being a monopoly, despite other platforms failing to compete effectively due to their own well-documented missteps.
