You can also register the CD Key of a game you've purchased in a store on Steam (that's also available on Steam) and you will be able to install it on Steam as well, granting you all the features you would have if you'd bought it on Steam in the first place.

Not entirely true. Very few third-party games allow you to register a retail CD key through Steam. It would be great if every game allowed you to though. As much as I love Steam, I love having a box more.

Fair enough.  While Steam does allow some games to be registered, not all that many are on the list yet.  It is an ever increasing list though.

Anyway, Epic is basically the last major step.  You could argue that Microsoft may never join, but they publish very few PC games themselves.  EA and Ubisoft surely aren't far behind after Epic.  Epic and Valve were once bitter rivals.  If Epic  can get on Steam, no one else will really have an excuse.
