Would Microsoft use the Steam and/or Origin platforms to improve it abysmal Microsoft Store or would they just ruin Steam/Origin? Probably the latter. I am sure they would love to control almost all of the PC digital distribution and tie everything to Windows and Xbox. EA seems to scared to take any risks and is just sticking to its few formulaic IPs they just keep making which they make exclusive on PC to their Origin platform which i assume is still nowhere near Steam in the digital distribution market share. This kind of consolidation is terrible for consumers since it limits choice. Exclusives are why i don't like consoles as well as there limited functionality and power. They try to force people into buying there hardware just for a handful of games.
