    Cool, that still doesn’t answer the question…and if you’re suggesting that people build a decentralized platform to rival steam…no one is stopping them from doing so.

      Luckily your computer can run any software you want so there’s no need to build any platform to play videogames.

      I was reply to your concern of people not being able to find their games, the fediverse is an example of how you can build a non centralized network and still bring people together.

        What’s the point of this comment? This doesn’t answer the question.

        Ok then what’s stopping people from doing that?

          Nobody. Valve spend millions on advertising to remain popular and outshadow competitors. As a result there are many brainwashed fools who go around defending the company like you can see in this thread

            I’ve literally never seen a tv ad for valve…hell I think I saw a print add in a gaming mag one time…but they really don’t need to spend money on advertising, they provide a service better than anyone else and that’s what keeps them around…EGS has been giving away titles for years now and they’re platform still sucks and is a reason they’re not as big as steam, not because of advertising.
