    Steam is a platform that happens to also have a storefront. Other companies are building storefronts and hoping that’s enough.

    If you can’t provide fast downloads, cloud saves synced across devices, achievements, mod support, friends lists, and multiplayer support, it’s not a real option. Being cheaper or having some exclusives aren’t attractive. Gog already has the drm free angle to be a legitimate competitor.
