Comment on Amazon’s idea of improving Luna involves stripping back most of it

Back in 2009 I was a lot more naive and optimistic. I really believed Steam needed competition to improve and needed major competition. I was pretty excited to see Amazon doing a store and Microsoft doing Games for Windows Live (until I learned they were charging to play online multiplayer and had a 3 time install limit until you had to call support to get that reset). I was excited for EA Origin. I kept Impulse installed. The only store that got better was Steam. In the case of Origin and Uplay, they got worse. GFWL died and the Windows 8/10 Store was worse. EA never changed. GOG at least released GOG Galaxy. Amazon never improved. Desura died. Bethesda Game Launcher and Rockstar Club were trash since day one. Battle.net/Blizzard was stable but just Blizzard games and I think a CoD showed up one year. EGS came out without a shopping cart and no user reviews. Steam kept getting better
