All the crap you use free 3rd party software for like party chat.
Steam doesn't have Youtube and Netflix etc apps either.

However PSN and XBox Live don't have anything like Steam workshop. Steam is the real gaming network.

But steam can do party chat... As well as plenty of other things like live broadcasting and etc... Not sure what youtube and netflix has to do with anything cause those are both third party...

Last gen it was behind the paywall on 360. I didn't know there was party chat integrated with Steam, I only have 1 Steam friend with 5 hour time difference :/

Anyway somehow XBox Live is seen as social and Steam isn't according to MS? Maybe Steam doesn't count as it's free to use. That whole presentation was about milking users. Nadella mentioned that Xbox Live is the biggest gaming social network, and monetizes far more than any other gaming social network. They include 500m windows 10 users in their social gaming network, still only 25% of Facebook though.
