Steam or Epic never needed that. What both of them had was immensely successful games but each utilized their own advantages. Steam used its Counterstrike network effects to grow their platform, CS was also their guinea pig to test their Steam idea in the first place. Epic on the other hand has a Fortnite windfall and it is spending its way to relevancy.
- ReptileMan 4y agoIt was half life 2 on steam that created steam.
- cinntaile 4y agoNo it wasn't. HL2 was the first game released on Steam but it was used before that for CS updates and asset downloads. Both during the beta and after that.
