I think I lost this analogy. What are the condiments in this metaphor?

I don’t know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don’t use very often, I hope I recall correctly)

  • Refunds
  • Family sharing of games
  • Sharing games for other local users
  • Being able to lend games
  • Remote Play (with friends)
  • Remote Play (stream for a local machine)
  • Linux support through proton
  • probably more?

  • Workshop, providing mod hosting/browser/framework for API
  • controller configuration tools
  • Better storefront with decent discovery and better search (Although this wouldn’t be a condiment in the anology)
  • Passable social tools (IE voice chat)
  • Game streaming to friends
  • Cloud saves
  • Relatively good review system
  • Item marketplace and trading

Free cloud backups of save files is really nice.

Free hosting of screenshots, too.

Free forums (though they tend to suck. I guess that’s like they only have basic yellow mustard or something, in this metaphor)
