Didn't Valve push Steam through HL2? It's a different kind of forcing of course, but still.

That just makes people install it it doesn't make people buy anything. I have installed epic store but I never ever even thought about buying a game there, I installed it since they give me free games so I'd assume most gamers have installed epic store. But getting people to install isn't enough.
