Between Asus, Lenovo, and now MSI, it feels like every major PC gaming brand is lining up to compete with Valve’s Steam Deck. MSI’s Instagram teaser for next week’s CES announcement doesn’t give too many hints about the specs or features of its competitor. But it does seem to confirm it’ll have plenty of fan grills and RGB.
They could easily start charging a monthly subscription to not have ads pop-ups in game!
No, they could not. Regulators would stop that very quickly. Steam is large enough that would be noticed.
Now, tell me what the other stores have to offer? Epic has the same issues, but with less games and more crappy launcher. Gog is DRM free… But those games you can get DRM free elsewhere too. The rest have very limited catalog and little features.
In the end Steam is big because they are doing things better by most players standards. I will be extremely happy the day the competition starts doing something aside from “being the underdog”.
Sony has announced that certain TV shows that players may have bought through PlayStation will be deleted from their libraries. Yes, shows you paid for, just…deleted.
Edit: They don’t add ads instead they are removing bought shows, which is even worse. Amazon shows ads before shows on their subscription service (self-promotion of shows/movies).

Just like they’re stopping streaming services from doing it?
What streaming service is adding pop up adds on movies or shows you have purchased?
