I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

    I’d rather see competitors actually try and be better than steam rather than make steam worse.

      How did you get “make steam worse” from that?

      Everything else still exists, just not controlled by Valve

          How? If any feature is necessary then it will be filled by someone else

          You aren’t losing anything

        Because each independent section would try to make more money and end up breaking things and adding new shit users don’t want but marketing execs think are good.

          Then find a different workshop/forum/launcher to pair with the Steam store

          In no world is it worse than what we have now

            He literally just said how it’d be worse. Although that’s probably not how it would get worse, splitting up the services of steam would make them inherently worse.

            Name an example of a better workshop, I’ve used nexus mods and it’s a complicated mess that requires a subscription to get normal download speeds for content created for free by other people
