Failure of larger companies to make a competitive alternative to steam is not anticompetitive behavior on the part of Valve

Yeah who TF are their lawyers? Anticompetitive behavior is just that—there have o be actions taken, at least in the United States. And Steam doesn't have exclusivity agreements so IDK what they're gonna argue.
