      It's not just the fee for quitting. It's also the cost and burden you have because everything is in proprietary formats that only work properly with Adobe Software. But according to James Lee's earlier video "working properly" is not adobe software. So basically you are f'ed. Good luck quitting. Btw that wasn't sarcasm, good luck quitting you will need it.

      It always blows my mind with these things. They could have just taken the Valve route and just soaked up all the money, being at 80% of the market. But then they decided that 80% wasn't enough and went hard into making companies sign obviously illegal exclusive contracts. The world basically handed them a monopoly, and they could have kept it, as long as they didn't act to actively keep and grow that monopoly. But they realized if they did all the thing they have planned to further monetize google, that people would leave in droves, so they had to try to set up a net to prevent that.
