Publishers already tried this (EA, Ubisoft, etc) and it didn’t really work. They came back to Steam.

That’s why I think it has to be someone who owns a bunch of publishers, like Microsoft. Like how Disney is not just Disney, but also Pixar, Marvel, ABC, ESPN, etc… It’s why people shit on Paramount+. There’s just nothing there worth watching.

Gun to my head I can’t be bothered using a Microsoft store if they were to make one lol. Hell Im not even sure how I managed to escape their os, lol.

because they didnt learn, in order to make more profit per sale on your platform, you either:

make a platform consumer friendly enough that people are willing to use it (the part that is most important)

or

make a game thats “good enough” that people will use your platform as a service (e.g Riot)

EA and Ubisoft (mostly) failed at both, with both hanging on a thread (Apex for EA, R6S for Ubisoft)
