    For a real comparison steam is the distributor, storefront, advertiser, and support. A bit more than just ‘a middleman’.

      A vertically integrated middleman is even more profitable.

      If there’s a gold rush, you want to run the railroads, build the houses, sell the shovels and open the general store I guess

        Fortunately, that’s illegal now. If only those laws would be applied to modern things

      You’re missing the actual biggest key component. It’s also a built in community forum with tons of user-requested settings. They mostly know how to cater and rarely backtrack a quality of life feature.
