Steam is one of the biggest gaming platforms, accruing well over 60 million people actively using it daily and 120 million users monthly. It’s gotten to the point of almost being a monopoly on PC gaming, but it’s not one, as there’s competition out there. However, no one seems to like the alternatives, not even
