Yeah, but that doesn't make much financial sense for MS, though, to pay Steam 30% to add its already well established platform that growing by the millions each month (GP is already at 18M+ strong) just for the sake of being on Steam.
If anything, MS would just purchase Steam and be done with it rather than pay Steam for the privilege of its on service.
EA did it on multiple platforms.
Nah quite the reverse.
While I don't think they'd do this (or yet maybe), they wouldn't need to buy it, in fact that'd be WAY too big an investment for the needs.
Far easier and more prudent to simply pay for the slot as EA did. You don't go around wasting money in business - why would you crack a walnut with a sledgehammer?
ANd this is one of the things people don't really understand about business. It's not as hollywood or fiction presents it. Its mostly based around boring, predictable, pragmatism.
And the reason why trade and commerce general work and have worked for thouusands of years is the simple truth that cooperation is oft-times cheaper than conflict. Cooperation aso leads to beneficial entanglement wherein your interests become so entwined that you can count on the other party look out for your best interests because it is in their bestt interest.
MS isnt trying to crush anything either.
No business ever really tries to crush it's rival. If they do, then that kind of psycopathic behaviour doesn't last and usually tokens it's demise.
It seems to be an all too common and silly idea that businesses do this - it's an all or onothing mentality that just does not exist.
Or to put it another way. Pragmatism.
You can spend thousands to attract new customer , or spend millions to take your competitor's customers..
You're right I should have elborated on that a bit better (I swear you're my filter a lot of the time ;) )
It's fair to say that on the smaller scale, yeah they will concentrate on crushing one aspect, but absolutely not on the large scale.
Not least of which despite the inevitable costs, large scale things have a nasty habit of not bearing out because the variable become greater or more.
Grow up
Valve is not trying to crush rivals when as stated earlier by myself on this thread Gaben welcomes competition.
It is for those others to give users a product and platform which outweighs another with features which are attractive to users. None have succeed in doing so on PC. Only GOG is worthy of consideration.
Origin, Uplay, Battlenet are not good platforms they are merely game launchers.
As for Epic they resort to bribery with free games and then claim their user base is growing when in fact without those free games it would still be in obscurity.
I think people seem to misunderstand some very fundamental things.
You're right in that GOG is probably about the best or nearest contender in some ways. At least why EA, Epic and the rest are never going to touch Steam is because of the one thing they're not willing to tackle - consumers' focus.
They're all entirely corporate and greedy. That's not to say Valve aren't - they're still a business. It's just that they don't view EVERYTHING through a purely profitary lens.
BlackBerry phones vs iPhones says hello
Sony walkman vs iPod says hello
Sony Vaio vs MacBook Air/Pro says hello
On and on and...
Yes and what happened to most of those companies and/or platforms?
Dead - that's the point.
All those companies failed to innovate nor move with the times hence why those products failed but more importantly why bring physical products into a discussion about digital games when they have no relevance.
Valve's PC rivals need to Google the definition of innovation to compete in a digital space where there is plently of room for the right product to grow, thrive and compete.
