Totally agreed. I'm building a Steam competitor, that's web-based (WebGPU/WASM) as well as cross-platform. Light on games atm, but the goal is to replicate over time virtually every feature Steam has to offer, as well as more. You can check out a preview of the portal here:

What lets you host Monkeyball like that. Are you going to port Xonotic to WASM?
Starting a sustainable steam competitor with piracy sure seems like a great idea!
It's how Spotify started. And CrunchyRoll. And slightly metaphorically Uber. And in a way Netflix. Turns out you can't scale if you never offer anything of value to customers and therefore never get customers.
The background music is ripped from the PS5 home menu too.
He already did lol, just didn't update the main website. Doesn't work very well for me, but it's something.
