The legislation which I linked and quoted above shows they only need 25% of the market as far as the UK is concerned.

If you are going to post a response, at least show the courtesy of reading and checking links that others supply.

Wrong. Monopolies are not illegal - it is abuse of monopoly power that is. The US government does not break up every monopoly and there are several examples of legal monopolies still running today. Odds are that your computer is running an OS produced by one of them...

Any digital distribution system can offer better profits for developers. The issue here is about the conditions imposed on users. If you choose to ignore the risks posed by DRM such as Steam's, you'll only have yourself to blame should the worst come to pass.
