| CladInShadows said: MS does not control all games. They only have control over the games they publish and/or develop and/or money hat. They can ban the sale of their own games on Steam just like EA with Origin. So, at most, we will have an Origin-like level of competition. That being said, if they remain competitive in terms of price and in terms of being an attrative alternative to steam for publishers and developers, then Steam could have some real competition. |
Remember, EA and MS are different. Valve pretty much stopped their software output when they got into Steam. No publisher want to sell their games in a platform dominated by a competitor. Why would Activision want to sell in Origin if EA competes with the with BF? You need a more neutral player, something that Valve and MS are.
