I agree with most of the rest, but not the first one. See what clogged mess Steam has become because it's not curated? See how orderly GOG is for instance by comparison? Curating the literal shit out of the store matters a lot more than you might think.

As for community guides, they can be very helpful if you're having problems, both technical ones or when you're stuck in the game somewhere. I agree that they can be found elsewhere in most cases, but not always (especially more obscure titles may be very hard to find outside such guides) Btw, unlike what that sheet says, GOG has such guides, they're just part of the forums of said games on GOG.

the curators are debatable. but for community guides, there are other outlets that can provide the same thing. fan wikis, reddit threads, even youtube all have that area covered. its a bit simple minded to say that community guides are one of Steam's flagship features

I would never have called it a flagship feature, but it's a "nice to have". Especially, like I said, for more obscure titles which don't have extensive wikis and the like. Try getting information about the new heroes, units and mechanics for Eador: Imperium for instance. Great game, but minimal information to find online outside community guides.
