No. The issue is exactly what they stated. The law does not mention "monopoly." It is against "monopolistic behaviors", such as using your market dominance to force price parity. A game developer can't afford to not be on Steam, because they have such strong market dominance. Valve knows this, and this is about them abusing this position to force price parity.
