Publishers thought they could take a bite out of Steam yet it's more dominant than ever

This month I have been upgrading the Steam Deck: A new 2TB SSD, Hall effect thumbsticks, and a gorgeous translucent purple backplate make for a very pretty handheld machine.
Next month I hope to be setting up a brand new desk space: After years of working on a tiny Ikea desk I'm finally getting ready to set up a sit/stand setup with lots more room.

Who hasn't tried to take a bite out of Valve at this point? Ubisoft, Rockstar, EA, Epic, Microsoft, Blizzard, and Bethesda have all attempted to release game launchers or storefronts trying to keep your mouse cursor off the Steam logo and move money from Valve's pocket into their own.
