This is great news for the gaming industry. Steam commission of 30% (less for games that have big sales) is bad for the industry. On the other hand, having just one game store is better for users, because it makes easier to organize them. However, I think the most important thing is that game developers receive a big share of the sales. Furthermore, if Steam loses more and more marketshare, Valve may be forced to release games again. I know they have recently launched a card game and a Portal mini-game, but I am talking about the third part of those AAA games by Valve that everyone is waiting for. I think Bungie would be much better on their own way without pressures from Activision, and Blizzard may split up from Activison as well in case Activision keeps forcing Blizzard to reduce costs.

Hello @ropaga, thank you for this good comment. I could not agree more on many points you raised. Steam is more convenient for the player but for game makers, it is important to have competition to cut intermediaries. Activism on is indeed pressuring Bungie too much which led to this « breakup ». Nevertheless I also felt that Bungie did not deliver as expected. It would be a drama if Blizzard splitter from Activision as it is their jewel. Take care and talk to you soon I hope 😉 Posted using [Partiko iOS](https://steemit.com/@partiko-ios)
