I would like to see Steam broken up so it is just as a storefront as well

Monopolies

As the comment section points out; it’s impossible to compete with steam because they have so many adjacent perks

And all software should only ever do one thing, otherwise it’s bloat

Except what steam does isn’t considered bloat to a large swath of users.

Obviously the unpopular opinion with the neckbeards, but I agree with you. I don’t understand the blind love for Steam. I mean it’s an effective platform I guess, definitely the better one for sure, but they all are pretty unnecessary. Steam definitely is pretty monopolistic. But whatever, everyone also enjoys paying $1200 for video cards from the same two suppliers, that were a quarter of that price not more than 6 or 7 years ago.

Do you mean to say that Steam has a store front separate from the launcher?
