    Are we pretending publishers not bothering putting their games on every storefront is the same as paying publishers to not put those games on competing storefronts?

          Not to me. I just want to play games. Already have multiple launchers. Doesn’t make a difference.

        The end result is the same for the consumer.

        It really isn’t.

        In one case a publisher is choosing to publish where the customers are. If consumers don’t like that service they are free to publish somewhere else

        In the other case a company is trying to force consumers to use their service, instead of providing a better service that they would want to use.

          Either way you install a client and play a game. Already have a few so it doesn’t really matter.
