Around 2000 a friend told me about Steam. I thought he was joking because I had never read about it in a magazine. I haven't bought a console since the 3DS.
Can anyone actually beat Steam on PC? According to Newzoo analyst Emmanuel Rosier, it’s pretty much impossible as long as Valve stays independent and privately owned. “Steam is difficult to avoid,” He points out that publishers have tried to leave Steam before, only to come back. “10 or 20 years ago, the big publishers decided to have their own platform distribution on PC, and then they almost all went back to Steam.” EA and Ubisoft are clear examples, and even Blizzard now sells Overwatch on Steam.

"Put Alan Wake 2 on Steam if you're really that pro-consumer"
Former Valve dev Chet Faliszek has fired back at Epic CEO Tim Sweeney over his latest attacks on Steam. Sweeney claims Valve is holding PC gaming back and criticizes Steam’s AI disclosure rules. Faliszek argues that these disclosures help players make informed decisions: “You’re just treating players like they’re stupid.” He also points out that Epic’s own Fab marketplace uses AI disclosures. And his response to Sweeney? Put Alan Wake 2 on Steam if you’re really that pro-consumer.
