This just isn't true, Steam had almost no competition in 2008. Microsoft didn't even have an app store till 2012, Epic certainly didn't, EA Origin is 2011.
- 0xffff2 6y agoSteam lacking competition doesn't imply that it was omnipresent. I remember a long period where Steam existed but the overwhelmingly most common method of distribution was a box with CD(s) in it (or, since I was a poor student at the time, illicit download).
