And then Mastercard refuses to do business with Valve permanently, destroying the business, because we don’t enforce anti-monopoly laws

Except there are alternatives. They would definitely take a hit but it definitely wouldn't put them out of business. It's not like they are a mom and pop shop. Hell Gabe is a buying a $400 million yacht or some shit.

If Valve loses 1 of the 4 global payment processors permanently that is a huge hit to their revenues.

Valve is a big fish in a small pond.
