Steam really hasn't done anything different in a long time, not anything massive. They still have their business model, which they obviously love.
Part of the winning strategy.
See: Microsoft.
Imagine having a market almost entirely captured only to shill AI products that no one cares about and including them into your OS. Imagine selling operating systems and still including advertisements in them.
On the other hand, look at Nokia. It is possible to lose a overwhelming market dominance rapidly by missing a trend.
And not being content with ads only on the start menu, but also pushing them on windows explorer. Oh, and killing notepad for an "ai enhanced" new version
