Man that would suck big time, my Steam library has about 200 games on it now
However, it would be more natural to have games, like most software, in the OS's built-in store... it would also be great to control the fullscreen interface with the XB1 or XB360 controller! I would rarely need to pickup the keyboard with a setup like this!
Anyway, before they started Steam, Gabe spoke to MS and offered them to start a digital game store, with their vision they did not see the potential of the idea (which is strange because this was the time this kind of central repositories with search etc. started to appear in Linux distributions and after trying Ubuntu back then, or a little later, it felt like this was something sourly missing from commercial OSes).
