  A large chunk of steam games can’t be brought elsewhere.

    Are we pretending publishers not bothering putting their games on every storefront is the same as paying publishers to not put those games on competing storefronts?

      The end result is the same for the consumer.

        It really isn’t.

        In one case a publisher is choosing to publish where the customers are. If consumers don’t like that service they are free to publish somewhere else

        In the other case a company is trying to force consumers to use their service, instead of providing a better service that they would want to use.

      All the same to me. I have to install a specific client to play a game.
