The problem is that all the competition to steam is far far inferior to steam in technology and ideology and future prospects. Steam isn't a publicly traded company, has features that are pro consumers, is supporting other OS's and doesn't have a CEO that is a prick like epic.

Epic launches my games, Steam is full of bloat that I never use... ๐Ÿคท

That "bloat" is 99% of the reason people use it.
