Exactley, PC gamers are always upbeat about the great variety and choices of their platform but they use their machine like a console with Steam, and only steam. There are a lot more digital destrubutions like CD prjoect or GOG other than steam and even a lot of PC games still get released physical without any services attached to them. |
I only started using Steam in 2013, and only because some of the betas of games I kickstarted where using Steam early access. Otherwise, I rely pretty much exclusivly on other ways to get my games, most prominently GOG, but also direct downloads from the devs homepage (possible with most indies) and alternative, more specialized sites like sekai project.
However, there are a lot of games which are Steam exclusives even though they aren't developed by them, or using features here which are missing everywhere else (like Steam Workshop and all the bonus user-made content developed there). This makes it pretty difficult to leave the platform out in it's entirety. My interactions with steam are kept to a minimum, but not using Steam at all on PC is getting increasingly close to impossible.
@OP: could you possibly add a link? Can't see the video here.
