And yet Valve's competitors can't even make a halfway decent store. They can cry about monopolies and whatnot, but at the end of the day, they just don't have a compelling product.

I'm not expecting GOG or EGS to provide all those extra services, but they need to at least be a decent store, and that means better customer service and decent discoverability, yet they fail at actually being a store.
