At this point, there's nothing anybody can do to compete with Steam. GOG exists, and despite their awesome raison d'etre, their launcher UI is crap. Epic is probably the closest thing to a competitor, and even its nonstop free game offerings (mostly unheard of indies now) isn't enough to get me to switch. Also, its UI is crap and the launcher itself is really unstable (constantly refreshes your library and sends you back to the top). The time to launch a competitor was in 2005, when Steam wasn't that good yet.

I would say gog is probably closer than epic. Its actually managed to still be a thing despite steam being op as f in every way possible. And the last time i used it it was decently competent launcher compared to epic which was a travesty.

It's still crazy to me that this is the same program I used to browse CS zombie mod servers. There was no real store to speak of then.
