The only person who would say this is someone COMPLETELY out of the loop when it comes to PC gaming.


Why? Is Steam invencible? I'm sure Netscape, IE, Nokia, BlackBerry, IBM and a lot of other companies looked invencible in their own game in a given time period. Even on gaming: wasn't Nintendo invencible after the NES? Who could beat Sony after the PS2?


Haha no Netscape, IE, Nokia, BlackBerry, and IBM were never as universally praised as Steam is.  Hell Steam single handedly saved the PC market while MS wa busy killing it with Vista and GFW.

Also is the PS2 really a good example? Let's see, 360 came in last (Again), the Wii won by 10%, and now both the Wii U and X1 are getting curbed stomped yet again.  Oh and the PS2's success was nowhere close to Steam.

Anyways why would someone who says this sillyness be out of the loop?  Because they don't realize just how good Steam is NOW.  It is constantly evolving and getting new (FREE) features.  What could MS' own service possibly bring to the table that would be worth dropping my massive Steam library?  Nothing.
