How to explain Steam's success on PC for console players: "Think of it like the X1 vs PS4 era. Steam is the PS4 and every competitor was the Xbox One"
That's far to generous to other companies, they were far more like the WiiU.
I was thinking more along the lines of being proud of shit features that consumers despise, to the point it becomes an ad for your main competitor, like the PS4 "how to share a game with a friend" video
