If you wonder why public companies with billions in revenue can't make a Steam competitor is because they can't think long term, being a private company allows Valve to just work on what they want and grow If they need to

they can't think long term

Well they can, but only in one way: Grow by selling at a loss to outcompete other and then make a profit.
