Another Storefront? Well maybe this might give Valve a kick up the ass and make Half Life 3, Portal 3 and Left 4 Dead 3.. Because right now with Windows Store growing and Battle.net gaining Activisions games, Steam is starting to look a little weak on the games front. Competitive prices are nice however that's not going to hold up long for Valve as others will start matching or offering better deals.

Fingers Cross this is a push for Steam to start becoming more attractive again. As for Epics Storefront, I hold no interests in it as of yet.

Maybe it might give MS a right heavy kick up the arse to completely sort out their storefront and get more PC only games going. 

Steam has a bigger library going than the MS store, so let's not kid ourselves into giving MS more pats across the back, for what little they do for PC gaming. Steam by far still has more features and built in modding for PC games, MS store does not.

Also Activision only has two games on B.net, which are both online and have a defined limited lifespan, L4D 1-2/Tf2/HL/Portal do not.

Also CoD went for more than full price on B.net, so no "competitive" pricing there at all, same for the MS store and Uplay/Origin. The only one actually being decently competitive is GoG.

Also"matching"?, yeah, when's that going to actually happen for once?.
