    Is Steam competing with Microsoft’s “Netflix but with games” service?

      No, and yet Steam is still winning. Game Pass can be a sick deal but many still prefer paying just a little more on a Steam Sale to own a game forever.

        I do use steam so please don’t misunderstand this as bashing, but you don’t own anything on steam either. You rent it for life and access can legally be withdrawn if you act against the TOS. If you’re looking to buy games GOG is the only real option I know of.

        Steam versions of games just work a lot better. If Xbox had game pass on Steam, it would see a lot more take up I bet.

        Except you don’t own it forever, as ISOmorph already explained.
