That's what happens when you get a huge portion of the market and get close to a monopoly. You could ask many Steam user what Steam got that others platforms doesn't, and most will say that it's because everything is on there. We prefer to use a single product instead of multiples, thus you choose Steam not because it's superior in any ways, simply because it's the default choice.
Epic Store had to give games for free to start being considered.

- PoignardAzur 6y agoIt's not just that everything is on there. There's also the review system, the workshops, automatic updates, easy browsing, communities, friend lists, customer service (getting refunds is easier than on any other platform) etc. The competing platforms biggest problems is that they assume that all they need to do is set up a HTTP server to download games from and add a few discounts/exclusives to get a customer base. But their UX is miles behind what Steam offers.
