Not saying I blame Valve for that, they grew because they're offering the best deal, but it seems other (online) retailers had enough and will stop at nothing to lose all their market share. |
Valve might control 60% of the digital download market but you, and these retailers, fail to realize Valve has a ton of competition. Impulse, Direct 2 Drive, Amazon, GameStop, Nvidia, etc all are in direct competition to Valve. Impulse is the 2nd largest DD retailer for PC followed by D2D. Valve might have majority, but they will never manage to control the DD market completely like Apple is controlling the music download service at the moment. And even Apple is threatened if Sony released the rumored music channel on the PSN, Microsoft releases something like it on XBLA, and other smaller services gain more popularity.
