    Steam is pretty much the only thing that stopped the Microsoft Store.

    If that had happened, you probably couldn’t even run games anymore on windows unless they were installed through the Microsoft store. Mods would be dead, and we would be in the same, but worse situation.

    Hell, maybe you couldn’t even buy games, but had to buy “game subscriptions” like game pass on xbox

      Microsoft now installs games in an unprotected directory because people were so annoyed they couldn’t use the mods made for other storefronts.
