Seemingly Ubisoft's, EA's and Microsoft's stores have all failed. Unknown failure criteria because their stores still exist. CDPR's store being an exception because they're the darling of gamers.
"PC gaming platform Uplay, which now represents 40% of Ubisoft's net bookings on PC."
lol
Online PC gamers can't seem to imagine that there's people who bought games digitally on playstation that may want to also play it on PC without paying again.
Or even people that prefer more of the revenue should go to the companies actually funding / making the games. (Of course there's talking points about how unprofitable or greedy it is to do so)
Let's also ignore how racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic the steam communities are and how Valve has done nothing but tacitly supported them by doing no moderation.
Online the sentiment is that the entire PC gaming community is a monolith that won't use anything other than steam (Fortnite? League of Legends? Minecraft? Genshin Impact?) but people who consider being a PC gamer is part of their identity don't speak for the whole market.
