If EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda, Epic and the rest established single high quality store for all their games, they would be able to compete. But it will never happen.
I still can’t wrap my head around this. Steam is kinda ok and it works but the experience is not really good. So the bar isn’t that high. But the other stores are so ridiculously worse. They only need to do an ok-ish UI.
I’m amazed you’d say that honestly. What about Steam is not really good? Personally I love the meta-gaming of the platform itself - leveling up your profile, participating in events, earning digital collectibles you can showcase. I also love the fact that a game remains in your library even if it’s no longer available for sale. And it’s great to be able to go into airplane mode, and still have access to your library. What are they missing that would change it from “not really good” to “good” or even “great?”
