| True. The best thing Steam has ever done was allowing(but not requiring) importing of other games to it. We (as in myself and other users) will voluntarily move to Steam in many cases, just to avoid dealing with whatever download site the game had before, or to get the automatic updates. I've done that with KSP and Elite Dangerous (which has a non-shitty site). And then Steam added VR - a very good implementation at that, which also supports Oculus Rift. Updates just work flawlessly, download speeds are good in general, one can move games around, you can backup them if needed, etc. Other competitors would not only have to match that, but do it better. And still most people wouldn't bother, because of their existing friends and libraries. The article is spot on. (Also, Origin is garbage, the only good thing is the name) |
