    20 years ago, the exact opposite was said about Steam and they didn’t change much. People just got used to it.

      No.

      As a person who resisted hard 20 years ago, they earned it. I didn’t get used to it, I found value. In cloud saves, in steam sales, in no pushy advertising, and so on.

      As a Linux user over 20 years they also did what nobody else really tried. That matters a lot.

      Sure they didn’t change much if you ignored all the improvements they made to the platform.

      If they didn’t the other competitors wouldn’t be irrelevant today.

      They haven’t changed much? They have like literally a million more games available on their store now.
