    I personally would’ve loved it if the competition was GOG, but it seems consumers don’t particularly care about ownership

    What the fuck are you saying? Of course consumers care about ownership, otherwise Stadia would be dominating the market, and we can see that it’s not.

        If you are trying to argue that ownership was not even a part of the multitude reasons Stadia failed and is off the table, you should seriously need to consider evaluating your critical thinking skills.

      Their point being that if true ownership was the priority for consumers then they would be exclusively using GoG, since it’s the only store that gives you your games to actually own.

          First time hearing of them, after browsing a bit I’m not sure I’d agree they’re better than GOG, but they seem to focus on indie games which is super neat.

        If they cared only about true ownership yea. But GoG doesn’t have every game Steam has. If they had the same selection i could easily see more people switching. I and I’m sure many others use both.

          It’s a self-reinforcing cycle, unfortunately. GOG doesn’t have the market share that Steam does, so publishers don’t release games on it, which leads to people continuing to use Steam and maintaining its dominant market share.
