There’s very little in the article to indicate imminent demise. A few valid complaints, yes.

Games should be supported across all platforms but the article did not mention a viable alternative for Mac based gaming.

Extraneous launchers are an issue, but I’m not sure what Steam could do for that when they’re the storefront, not the developer.

The article also expresses a concern for continued dominance as a platform so it goes against the title as well.

This coming from game journalism, which has just turned into a mouthpiece and constantly been used to lie about how good games are.

Funny how the date of this article comes out around the time that Amazon is failing, Epic is failing, Ubisoft is failing, and they’re failing because they hate the people that they sell their products to, and they refuse to be user-friendly and user-focused.

Steam isn’t perfect, but the reason why they’re a monopoly is they actually give a shit about gamers, unlike all of their competition.

Gamers aren’t a product, they’re a user, and Steam understands that offering the voice to those people makes their product what it is. The more users they have, the more money they make. They don’t need to nickel and dime and squeeze.

This is something that every single competitor they have had has just blatantly ignored.
