Movies/show and new games
Steam is an amazing place for games but what i think can make steam better is if they can offer movies old to new hd for us and shows to watch or pay for with subscription and without and if were able to link our accounts to steam such as netflix hulu apple tv hbo max etc it would just make steam an even better platform and for the community also adding old games to steam even adding games back just as transformer and such also i dont know how hard this will be but adding games like sly cooper and making them compatible with pc i dont know if they can do it or get in touch with studios and they have to do it but it would be really nice also holding more exclusive so we dont have to go to epic games for example and pre order chivalry 2

They already sold movies, it was a colossal failure, they are not going to do it again. If you want to stream movies and tv shows, then go to the proper movie and tv streaming sites. You will get them FAR cheaper than you would get them here.

Valve also doesn't go around asking companies to add their games to steam. If you want a game on steam you need to go ask the developer to bring it to steam.

And NO TO EXCLUSIVES!!! Exclusives on ANY store or platform is a BAD idea. Epic games has its own issues, they keep buying exclusive and keep digging their hole deeper. They lost nearly half a billion dollars in 2019. They plan on doing more exclusives, which is going to cost them more money, which is going to dig that hole deeper.

How about once epic has a shopping cart on their store, then we can talk about how much of a threat they are to Valve whos profit keeps going up and up year after year.

Movies such has Mad Max were once on steam. A lot of the catalog were removed. Although i hate the word "EXCLUSIVES" but if your are looking for those steam has plenty of them.

While yes there are games that are "exclusive" to Steam, they were not bought by Valve and were/are free to go on any other platform they want from day 1. Their developers were not told by Valve that they had to stick to steam for any length of time.

So I don't count them as exclusives the same way as epic has exclusive.
Gwarsbane pretty much said all there is needed in this thread.

Valve has already tried the movie/shows thing on Steam and it failed as most of us saw that was going to happen, but at least they tried. shows/movies about games are still allowed and can be found on Steam but tv shows/movies are not and more than likely will not come back to Steam, if you want to watch shows/movies online there are dedicated services that deal with that.

If you want to see a particular video game ported or even brought to Steam you'll need to contact the IP holder of that title and ask them to bring it to Steam as those at Valve do not go search out for titles to add to Steam.

And exclusives are the worst thing anyone can do on a platform. Epic is pretty much killing themselves by doing it and they are keeping at it as it's proven to not bring them in any money from it, does not keep people on the platform to buy more games, and shows that "most people" wait out the time exclusivity deal and buy it on the platform they actually want it on *cough Steam*. You can say what you want about Steam with its problems, out-of-touch updates that hardly anyone wants, or even changes that they don't ask the community about before randomly adding them in, etc. It's still hands-down the best store and platform on PC for publishers, developers, and consumers with many different features for all to utilize.

Steam has no exclusives, except for Valve games themselves.

If a game isn't another storefront then it's a exclusive. It does not matter how you twist & turn Steam has exclusive, GOG has exclusives, EGS has exclusives, Microsoft Store has exclusives & various. It does not matter if they are paid or not. It's still called exclusives.

Exclusivity matters if its bought or not. Epic buys and forces the exclusivity, Valve does not, GOG does not. It might still be called exclusives, but they are not the same. It is a huge difference in my books when you go exclusive because you were paid to do it, vs if you just choose to not go on other platforms/stores.

It matters to you. It doesn't matter objectively. Not saying your opinion is wrong. If you hate it and want to grind an ax over it, that's fine. Not everyone is going to feel the same way though.

There is a big difference in defining the difference between a game being exclusive because the developers choose to only sell it on a single platform versus a site not allowing it to be sold anywhere else but their store.

I mean its the difference between you visiting someone in jail and you being locked up in jail. I mean in both instances your "in jail" but the context matters.

"Exclusive" means only on that platform or storefront and not allowed on another for whatever the duration is, or what the contract states. Just because someone puts their product in one store does not make it exclusive, there is a huge difference in that word.

So when did the developer not have a choice to enter into that arrangement? I mean you don't like Epic offering the deal, and you don't like the developer choosing the deal. But trying to twist the situation that there's a difference if the "developer chooses", when they did choose, doesn't strike me as genuine. Some choices don't count as choices? Or the choices run so contrary to your personal values you feel the need to qualify them?

I get that people don't like waiting. Or don't like the inconvenience. and they don't have to like business being done that way. But the developers still choose. Epic isn't making them do anything. Both parties have to uphold their end of the agreement. There's noting interesting or special about that.

Never once said that the developer didn't have a choice, which is another reason why its important to differentiate the two. A developer agreeing to engage in a practice designed to restrict access to games is something i'd want to know versus a developer that just likes Steam and see's no need to release on another platform.

Why don’t they have a feature where you can link your streaming accounts such as Hulu to steam

And NO TO EXCLUSIVES!!! Exclusives on ANY store or platform is a BAD idea. Epic games has its own issues, they keep buying exclusive and keep digging their hole deeper. They lost nearly half a billion dollars in 2019. They plan on doing more exclusives, which is going to cost them more money, which is going to dig that hole deeper.

How about once epic has a shopping cart on their store, then we can talk about how much of a threat they are to Valve whos profit keeps going up and up year after year.

I agree with this they have something coming out called oasis that’s a really cool concept it’s basically like ready player one and I hope they bring it to vr as well the problem is it might be exclusive and I think a game that sounds really good and he potential since everyone wants to be one step closer to ready player on type of world it will really hurt them if it’s an exclusive I would love to start up a game whatever platform I’m on no problem just play it I feel like that’s a main reason why they giving out free games cause the epic store isn’t doing very well the ui is alright but I see what you mean I agree with you on that

Probably because you can have your browser open to watch on any platform you are subscribed to. I'm able to have my browser open on one screen while the other has my game running. Having those linked in steam won't make it any easier to view movies as it would require at least a couple of clicks, same as it would take to open your browser and achieve the same results.

Because of money. Are you going to pay for Valve to do that? If so, why? Its exactly what you already have with Hulu but more expensive. Hulu will expect Valve to pay them for that privilege.

You can use Hulu in any browser already I think or maybe you have to use theirs, I have no idea I could not even use Hulu as it wasn't available in Canada, though it does look like at least some of it is coming to Canada... still not even close to being worth it in my books.

I personally dislike Steaming sites cause all the shows I like are spread out everywhere and to get them all would cost more than cable, some of them would only be for 1 show, which is certainly not worth it.

So ya if you want to pay more for less functionality, go and ask Hulu to bring it to Steam, Valve won't go and ask them to bring it. Or you can pay less and have more freedom with it by keeping it out of Steam.
