It's also going to be really hard to unseat the community and ecosystem Steam has built for 2 decades. You don't beat that with just faster download speeds or quicker launch times

They all use same providers. All depends on infrastructure around you for download speed.

I used EGS a couple times to download their free games, it actually felt slower than downloading from steam.

These morons never seem to understand that Valve has spent like 30 years building good will with Steam, while literally all of their shareholder run competitors still struggle to put out a half decent platform of their own.

Then on their own shitty launchers, are their shitty, unfinished, buggy slopcoded "AAA" titles that piss you off into never coming back.
