Yes. But let’s be honest: every store that has arrived to pc to “kill steam” has done what to actually kill steam?
It’s like every time someone thinks of creating a steam competitor the process goes like this:
“Hey, let’s see what is Steam doing well, what do users love about the store… And do the complete opposite to it in hopes that users ditch steam for us!”
Sometimes a market you don’t even know exists opens up when you do something, so I get the logic of trying to open a competitor… But what did Origin or UPlay even do? Epic has freebies and a better profit share for publishers, GoG has their commitment to support old games, itch.io has the best profit share, indie focus, and I believe free listing? You need to do something to stand out from the monster that is Steam, or you might as well just stop.
