Screw all this digital distribution mess.
The windows store has no titles, but has obviously the best client.
Steam has a lot of titles, but is obviously missing a few major chunks (EA for instance), and the store client is pretty bad (its simply a browser shell)
Origin and uplay (now one store) lacks too many titles!
And than there is the sony store and xbox marketplace, but they are only for their respective consoles.
You see, I ran down the publishers of my games earlier, and truth is, the games I play comes from too many publishers across too many platforms.
The publishers include that I bought games from (starting from the beginning of 2012 to today, I bought too many from some publishers to name, including free to play):
EA (Mass effect, Kingdoms of Amalur, Medal of Honor, EA sports, Crysis, etc.)
Sony (MLB the show, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Unit 13, Wipeout, gravity rush etc.)
Activision (Call of Duty, The walking dead, Prototype)
Capcom (Devil May Cry, Street Fighter)
Ubisoft (Far Cry, Ghost Recon, Assassins creed, Rayman, Lumines, etc)
Eidos/Square Enix (Hitman, sleeping dogs)
Paradox (Crusader kings, Victoria, War of the roses)
Sega (Total War, Yakuza, Binary Domain)
Rockstar (Max Payne)
Valve (counterstrike: global offensive)
Koei (dynasty warriors)
THQ (Darksiders, WWE)
Konami (metal gear)
You see, I truly hope for 1 digital distribution platform that has everything, but that is never going to happen...
So I juggle steam, origin, uplay, playstation network, xbox live, and it covers most of my gaming needs, but goddamnit, there has to be a better way for this...
