It's funny because if Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft and Epic joined forces to make one platform they could put a dent in the steam monopoly.

But since they're bunch of shittiy toxic managers with mentality of screwing everyone around for their own benefit, it's never going to happen. They will always fail and crawl back to Gabe

Please Microsoft couldn't even maintain Skype dominance after they bought it.

To be fair they bought skype to break it's end to end encryption at the behest of the us govt. In return they were awarded big contracts.
