A few days ago I wrote about the Junk Store coming to Steam, a special plugin for Steam Deck to bring GOG and Epic Games compatibility unnoficially - but it seems to be a short lived idea.
a launcher that has a primary purpose of launching other games from other stores might have been a bridge too far.
Really? Because steam has been selling games from companies who do this for years with the only backlash coming from upset customers that the corporations usually ignore anyways.
That’s still for games sold through Steam. Most importantly, that’s for games that the companies agreed to sell through Steam.
If I was Valve, my biggest concern here would be that officially selling a tool for sideloading Epic games could be seen as approving of breaking Epic’s ToS. Epic is also very sue happy when it comes to attacking rival companies.
What are you referring to? Because in this case Steam would be getting a certain amount once for you to be able to play hundreds or thousands of games on another platform

The many games you buy on Steam that then launch another god damn launcher from another company when you launch them.
I hate it, but Steam never seemed to mind.
Bought a game recently on steam, and it wanted to launch Ubisoft connect after installing - fastest refund I ever requested.
