You're contradicting yourself
If I wanted to start a power grid company, I would need a fuckton of money as well. It's called a natural monopoly.
On the other hand starting a new gaming platform is just like competing with a national power grid company. It's nearly impossible. You become a target that's on sight from all angles. At that moment you're prone to pretty much every anti competitive tactic.
Tell me why no one is trying to overtake steam and why companies that actually try, are being flushed.

Yeah, you have 0 knowledge about app economy. Servers, infrastructure, production, employees are all free. Go compete with steam using your $1 cloud hosting. Bye.
I said it in another comment. You have 0 awareness in the conversation you initiated.
