Attack from that angle then, not from something that strongly correlates with it.

I'm confused what you mean.

Sorry. Terrible wording on my part.

My argument is that instead of attacking Valve for being big, you should attack them for doing bad things. Your "other comment in this thread" (I assume https://lemmy.world/comment/10668748 ?) describes an aggressive practice done by Valve. Why not lead with that? The problem is not the size of these companies per se, but the way they've reached that size and the way they weaponize it against competitors. Focusing on attacking the size and the monopoly status of the companies is just saying "it's not okay to be successful".
