    Still, Steam does dominate a massive portion of the PC market.

    Steam revenue in 2023: USD 8.5 bn.

    Overall PC gaming revenue that year: 45 bn.

    Also, Microsoft uses their Windows monopoly to ship the Xbox Games store to almost every PC user.

    If Steam had a dominating market position, the EU would have classified it as a gate keeper under the Digital Markets Act.
