Why is this OK?

Can their programming team write such a thing? Oh absolutely. But if they’ve not actually written such a thing, then they cannot technically do it because it just simply does not exist.

Frankly, whether the code is written or not is irrelevant to whether or not Patreon could do it on a technical level. Not having the code written =/= it can't be done, and saying it like this is just pointless pedantry. You knew what they meant.

US Court Rules Google a Monopoly in 'Biggest Antitrust Case of the 21st Century'.

Steam has no competitors because nobody is competing with them, not because they are forcing nobody to compete with them.

Steam isn't abusing their dominant position to prevent competition. Other companies could make their own storefront and compete with steam. Nobody does in a way that's actually comparable to steam.

Steam has a monopoly, but it's not because steam is actively keeping it that way.

Yeah... that's illegal. There doesn't appear to be any rules about hours per day, but there's definitely rules about hours per week. You are legally entitled to overtime pay after 40hrs in a week,.

If you can get more employees to report, it'll make it more likely they'll do something.
