Steam desperately needs competition. It would be interesting to see how much more the market would pay to actually buy games again rather than rent them.

- zbentley 8y agoI agree, but their network effect (among consumers and among game producers, who rely on Steam's wide distribution channels, anticheat/antipiracy tech, and analytics) is so huge that a competitor would have a very hard time.
- krageon 8y agoFor the AAA games that are actually available there, you can compare sales figures between GoG and Steam. It's not great for GoG I imagine, although I do appreciate that service vastly more than I do Steam.
