pandacoder, 7 months ago They are all monopolies in their ecosystem. (Satellite Internet doesn’t reach everywhere.) You got a list of monopolies, stop trying to move goalposts in order to slam Valve and defend a bunch of anti-consumer publicly traded companies. Standard Oil was a monopoly, but using your logic there wasn’t because there was an alternative of not using oil-based fuels. An example of a company that actually fits your definition of a pseudo-monopoly would be Nvidia in the GPU market.
