Steam sucked, really bad. For 8 years, maybe? Maybe more? It takes time to build something, but consumers demand everything immediately.
Origin is still bad and so is whatever Ubisoft's launcher is called.
edit: for the record I didn't say that steam was the best launcher, but I have found the launchers for world of warships and warthunder to be serviceable
Origin is now the "EA App" and Uplay is now "Ubisoft Connect"
They can't even keep consistent branding.
It's kind of funny. I feel that the rebranding was because those launchers sucked ( a common marketing tactic.) The thing is though, the EA App still sucks so it doesn't do anything for its reputation.
