Steam does the online marketplace right. They have reviews that aren't entirely faked or bought and paid for. They have meta critic scores on the page. Their tags are generally accurate, if something is listed as an RTS it has an RTS feel, games tend to not be tagged with popular tags that don't fit. Their guides and forums tend to have helpful information that can be easily found. Workshop makes modding as easy as click a button. The store also stays out of the way when you want it too, there aren't adds to buy more games all over your library, they don't try and charge you for faster pipes or backup space. From the dev side they also make it easy to have a game on steam and still sell it elsewhere. Steam keys are free to generate, so you can sell for any price or anywhere, but it keeps users stuck to the steam platform. Steam has also never not let me play a game just because some service is down. Yes it locks you out after an extended period offline, but I'm not crashing out of a game because I lost internet for a second or some DRM server crashed.
