Valves been on the down for years. Last minute chat app trying to mimic discord/curse, and introducing laughable vulnerabilities. VR gear more expensive and less relevant than competitors, no advancement on the tech that worked (steam controller, steam streaming box). Better mods through other sites and curse client. No more valve games, holding onto a dead engine.

Valve is coasting on prior success. If discord or curse was done better steams market share would nosedive.

This is one of many mistakes that happen when you dont compete and innovate.

Curse & Discord wouldn’t even exist if Steam had evolved properly. They had game store + friends list + chat integrated like 15 years ago, big miss IMO.
