Yeah, plus in my head features in a storefront should basically only be economical feature for the consumer. If i want to buy a cpu from best buy vs microcenter, i only want to compare price, not all this extra shit; the extra shit should be considered separately and not tied to the place retailing the game imo. Digital storefronts should be about shopping around, not feeling like you HAVE to go steam because it has features that other stores dont.
So like in this imagination, there would be the steam store and the steam launcher separately, and digital games can be loaded onto your launcher of choice w/ it's feature set and all that. This allows, for example, a dev to release on multiple storefronts, not be forced to take cuts that they dont want to, and for storefronts to take less in general due to only really needing to maintain servers, etc.
But again i know this is fanfiction and valve holds the industry atm.
