We still didn't saw what they can have to offer. Life can be a surprise! But you have a point: MS can even get all the games that Steam gets, but the previous released game won't probably be re-released that easily. Steam scores one important point. |
The thing is, there are certainties about what they will be able to carry. Like, it's extremely unlikely that Sony would allow SoE games on any Microsoft service, so that's segment of games that Steam will have, versus MS. Conversely, it seems like Microsoft will actually be very close to Steam in this regard, so it's likely that every Microsoft studios game, will end up on steam, or at least the vast majority.
Time will tell, but Microsoft has a pretty steep hill to climb to create a system with as much variety and inclusiveness, as what Valve's built.
