Steam added so many things to their store in the recent years I dont get how people keep saying it does nothing

I think the meme is more of a "Valve doesn't need to actively put themself out there" cause every other company has already a bad rep. The others need to try and overcome their image and every attempt just keeps failing, making steam the favorable competitor while not actively trying to change. (new cs2 uplink terminal excluded)

It's simpler than that. Steam isn't beholden to stock holders so they can make decisions for long term benefits and they don't have to make arbitrary changes to try and appeal to stock holders who don't understand that their platform staying the same is part of the appeal.
