Do you remember before Steam won, there was also Stardock. They're still around now because they make Galactic Civilizations, but back in the day, they were also one of the early innovators in having their own store launcher for distributing their and others' games.

I still use stardock fences on my windows pc.

I also... Fondly?... Recall the time everybody was excited to have Xmas or star trek themes desktop with windowblinds.... Funny how not just fashion changes, but even need for fashion - virtually nobody customizes their windows desktop anymore :)

I remember that. It was a really good store, the first of its kind IIRC. Every so often I think about what happened to the games I owned on there?

It's kinda funny that there's a company out there that does both game publishing and popular desktop utilities

Before steam won there was also _WON_, and I'm still grumpy about losing their nice UI ;).

Oh child, Stardock was originally a windows shell… Dressing to be modded like your Winamp skins.
