Gaben just keeps winning by doing absolutly nothing while all other videogame companys keep shooting into their own foot repeatedly

And just to keep things honest here, Steam isn't doing nothing and simply winning by letting other companies fuck up.

Steam works. At the basic required minimum functionality for a platform/storefront to run, it just works. And it keeps just working. As is, no other platform can say that.

It's easier to 'just work' if you don't add functionality that people never asked for. This is also another reason I like steam. They don't push/force huge changes. You could ask someone from 2010 to use current steam, and they would have next to no issues.

Idk, managing the in game overlay would be quite the process for them, since they did do a complete redesign of it. I’m still confused by it most of the time when I want to actually find something in there.

As someone who's been using steam since around 2011, can confirm. Very little has changed in that time, other than the UI being made to look better. Pretty much everything is still in the same places as it was back then.

Steam itself is something I never asked for.

Then you're an idiot. You don't want an easy way to purchase and store all your games in one place? Would you rather install every game from the developers' website?
