    Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect, EA (formerly Origin), Microsoft Store, …

    Steam is a lot of things. If selling games is the only baseline for comparison, then you can add Fanatical, Humble Bundle, IndieGala, …

    There’s a lot of overlap.

    Steam Workshop? ModDB

    Steam Chat? Discord

    It bundles it all conveniently and there aren’t any drop in alternatives.
