I remember in the early days I tried out several different services trying to do the same thing as Steam. None of them really worked. I would have been willing to run multiple apps for different games back then, but each one individually made me go “Eh, too much hassle.”

Actually, I dropped Steam as well in the early early days. The technical problems I ran into were so unacceptable that I had resolved to boycott them forever. Couldn’t say no to all of the bangers they were putting out, though, so I came back to try again and they had gotten much better.
