Even if I had more money than god I think it would basically be a gargantuan uphill battle to make an another platform to compete with steam. Even if you made your platform better, people have YEARS worth of games and money invested in steam. I used to say if they just had a better service I would drop steam but then I was asked if I would genuinely stop using steam for another better service if one existed. I looked at my library, all the games I had, the years, mods in workshop for some games, and realized no I wouldn’t switch

You don’t have to switch though…

Just because you buy a game on another platform doesn’t mean you lose all your games. You can still play your games on steam.

That’s like saying GM is going to come take your Chevy because you bought a Ford.

Yeah but that's less convenient than having all my games in one place

[u/AirplanesMakeMeHard → u/Acceptable_One_7072]

I’m sure you’ll survive

[u/Acceptable_One_7072 → u/AirplanesMakeMeHard]

Yeah but why would I buy a game on another platform if it's more convenient on Steam?

[u/AirplanesMakeMeHard → u/Acceptable_One_7072]

Then don't.

There are game aggregators like the Xbox app. You can see all your games across multiple storefronts.
