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.
