In the past it seemed like the opposite is happening. Each publisher pumps out their own store, so they can circumvent the cuts they would have to pay to Steam, GOG, etc. Generally their own stores and launchers are worse than the established ones (especially Steam) and in the end I have to run even more garbage on my machine.
Some pull out of GFN because they want to push their own streaming ambitions, some pull out for absolutely no visible reason. Activision being such a case. They don’t have a competing streaming service, but deny GFN from hosting their games. Beats me what the fuck they are thinking.
It’ll happen. It’s what always happens. They’ll be forced to diversify if they don’t do so willingly.
