    How exactly is Steam consumer friendly? Or is the bar so low that companies that don’t shoot themselves in their feet by mistake because they were actually aiming for the customer are considered “consumer friendly”?

      The bar is, indeed, very low. By comparison I don’t feel as predated as in other shops.

        GOG doesn’t do regional pricing and only supports a handful of currencies. So Steam is much more consumer friendly for any of us living in countries with “weak” currencies.

      The fact that you can add any game to Steam is pretty consumer-friendly, I think.

          True, “add any software.” It’s just most beneficial for games.

            Fair enough… I guess I was thinking emulators

              Oh, I see. I consider those games as well, since you’re not going to install one without any games included. It’s also possible to make a shortcut so a single game boots up in an emulator.
