Well, that's certainly an article title isn't it. But I mean it. Microsoft, don't you dare touch Valve. You're fat enough already and too big as it is.
eh, i dunno. the reason Apple didnt die years ago was due to Microsoft funding back in the late 90s, and they had a linux distro for a while too (or was it unix? I forget). diversifying your interests as a company is one way to grow market share, so steam would probably still exist.
They nominate positions on the FTC, which is supposed to be responsible for managing monopolies. Recent nominations have shown interest in updating or outdated policies regarding monopolies.

Never give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt.

We need a president that carries a big stick, and uses it to beat the shit out of monopolies and billionaires.
What exactly could a president do? They aren’t kings despite what some would think.

You mean Windows NT?
Anyway, this is an interesting read: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish
Iirc the funding from MS to Apple was part of a deal they made with the authorities. Not because they wanted to.
