Competition? Friend and partner?

> Why many PC Gamers see Developers as "competition"
> Cause they are "competing" for your money
> Cause for them anyone wanting your money is competition

Competition is not someone wanting your money. Competition is someone
wanting money from the same third person whose money you want. 
Developers are in competition with each other, and they want my
money. And to get my money, they have to write the games I want to
play.

I'm afraid the rest of your rant made even less sense than this,
unless you assume that all PC gamers are thieves, or something silly
like that.
