I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

    That’s the point

    It’s done because you want to do it not to make money

    Maybe you have 10-20 forums installed into your client to cover the games you play

      So when you said “break up Steam” you didn’t mean it in the usual, anti-monopoly sense where bits of a company are spun out into independent entities or sold off?

      You meant let everything be done by enthusiasts and have it kinda interoperable?

      I’m not against that, but I think there are bigger dragons of capitalism to slay first before we hope that splitting forums off of Steam doesn’t send them the way of the IMDB forums.
