Why wouldn’t this be suitable for an anti trust lawsuit?

Its not monopolistic in any way. It hurts consumers, but not competitors. It doesn’t prevent companies like xbox, nintendo, and steam from fairly competing. It doesnt stop game developers from developing games, etc.

An example of an ongoing anti-trust case would be how Steam doesnt allow games to be sold for cheaper on other platforms. For example, if an Indie game dev wants to make $7 for every copy of a game sold, they sell it on steam for $10 since steam takes a 30% cut. They would then have to sell it for $10 everywhere else even if those other platforms take a smaller cut of the profits.

This is monopolistic because Steam, whose reputation and size practically forces developers to sell games on steam, is then using that reputation to prevent competitors from undercutting them.

which is unfortunate because other than this I think valve has been the most consumer friendly company in the industry

didnt realize I’d get downvoted for pointing out an actual LITERAL ONGOING ANTITRUST CASE. Steam bootlickers cant handle the fact that there is a single spot of rust on the otherwise spotless reputation of valve. Its an example. Its not a big deal. If me saying Steam did something bad one time upsets you then you need a reality check.
