  20 years ago, the exact opposite was said about Steam and they didn’t change much. People just got used to it.

    Sure they didn’t change much if you ignored all the improvements they made to the platform.

    If they didn’t the other competitors wouldn’t be irrelevant today.

    They haven’t changed much? They have like literally a million more games available on their store now.

  I feel like this is not rocket science here, this is business 101.

  1. Make the customer happy

  2. Enjoy increased revenue

    N,o, it is economics and at some point over the last decade or so companies decided that the customer should be subjected to a constant shift of quality until it arrives at a level where it is the worst they are possibly willing to accept. Quality down profits up. Welcome to our new world.

    This is the new “the customer is always right” attitude.

      profits down but stocks rise with increased investment.
