The basic principle is the same: a DRM-enabled online store, and more often than not the only source for certain games, a monopoly.

    DRM is not required by Steam. Developers choose to add it.

    No difference from a customer perspective.

    And with those resources they decided to make a huge long term investment in making PC gaming on windows optional, then even the worse experience. Don't see that loser Tim sweeny doing anything of that value... It's not exactly a monopoly either.. You can install any other available store on your pc, unlike consoles. More competition would be great but steams market share was earned in an environment that wasn't a walled garden.
