You can make a store that's better than steam in every way, and it still wouldn't catch on
Steam was the first, so nothing will ever replace it, just like with youtube, twitter, facebook etc.

Like myspace and yahoo, right?

so why didn't any other company try that?
epic's valuation is more than twice valve's, so they're perfectly capable of creating a platform that's better than valve's.

Ah cool, excited for Sega's new console?

Sorry I only use GoG or pirate.

Before Facebook, there was MySpace. Before MySpace, there was Friendster. Before Friendster, there was SixDegrees.
Being the first does not give you domain by default. You become the default by being the least shit for long enough to accrue enough mindless slaves to your cause. No other storefront has met this criteria nearly as long as Steam has.

They absolutely are. They just chose to do retarded shit instead.

steam is good. some day, gabe will die, and the company will go public for the epic IPO cashout.
Then, it will be liquid shit.

All three of those replaced the first of theor kind to the market.

Steam allows you to refund shit without forcing you to jump through a million hoops just to be told "Actually no"

That's literally it

What video were you watching when you took this screenshot?

Not really. If they tried that, shareholders would rape them in court for wasting money on shit that benefits the customer instead of maximising shareholder returns. Even if they managed to make a competitor that's better than Steam in every way, they'd be legally obligated to enshittify it to make shareholders more money.
Don't you just love judaism?
>>
>>736280812
Make a store without DRM and I'm there. I use GOG as much as possible.
>>
>>736280812
Nah, if steam started enshittifying people would start leaving. Lmao. It's a miracle the worst of their morality are the gamba mechanics that literally everybody in the world does.
>>
>>736280812
name one digital game store thats genuinely as good as steam
>>
>>736281167
I saw it on Reddit

>>736280812
Your half right its just that you need to make a better store AND Valve needs to fuck up severely so you can take marketshare.
Really once you have a good storefront then its an endurance game, a game really only Epic could of done, if they had actually made a storefront equivalent or better than Steam.
Before Xbox gave up that's how the console market worked, since most consoles outside of a few exclusives are mostly the same the winning console was whatever company didn't get cocky from winning the previous generation and trip over their own dick

>>736280812
While everyone rode the PC is Dead bandwagon, Gaben saw opportunity. They're just mad they didn't have the foresight.
>>
>>736280648
I wonder why centralized web storefronts even exist for games. You don't get that shit for movies, can't even download them at all to begin with.
