> Vapor - an unreleased competitor to Steam
Until Steam has a couple major screw ups, potential competitors better have tons of capital to keep throwing at their platform-in-waiting! Amazon does have the $$$, but they also have hungry shareholders that won't wait like they used to. Gamers by-in-large quite like the platform Gabe has built.
- vkk8 5y agoI guess they could tie it to Amazon Prime (like they did with Prime video) and just let Prime cutomers download any game on the platform without paying extra.
- WorldMaker 5y agoPrime Gaming has been giving "free games" to people for years. They already have a huge "back catalog" for some users in the weird bare bones "Twitch Launcher". Expanding that into a full store wouldn't be the hardest play for them; if anything the surprise is that they've been so slow to do that.
