I dont see how any org gains traction on Steam or even GoG. Have you looked at the twitch desktop client? Seizure inducing at best, though since it is Amazon they will likely redesign the ui every week just like with their Prime website. The steam interface is clean, refined over the last 20 years, though the new chat client update is gross. Not to mention there are twenty thousand or more games i can buy on Steam plus movies and tv shows now.
I only use Discord because Skype got butchered by MS. This Discord 'launch any game from Discord' thing smacks of raptr, the PUPware that amd was shoveling down user throats a couple years ago with Catalyst updates. I guess there are a few people who dont use Steam, that may want to buy something through Discord or Twitch, but it has to be less than 1 in 100 pc gamers.I think where Discord has a chance is with games that aren't already tied to the Steam eco system. If they can get a few indie titles that go big then they can start to get companies to do multi sourcing deals with them, and begin to eat away at Steam's market share. It isn't going to be fast or easy, but there is room particularly if they have the depth of resources to take some financial losses by having better sales than Steam.

Ill certainly see the updates for this as i use Discord a few times a week. I just dont want a half dozen different online store apps on my computer.

@scottalanmiller What is that?
Classic role playing game from around 1985. Came out on systems like the Commodore 64, Amiga 1000, and Apple ][. It was a landmark game in its day and is considered one of the foundations of modern RPG gaming.

And because it was on the C64, we figured out ways to cheat the system by flipping the 5.25" floppies we were saving things to.
Made some ultra powerful characters.

Oh neat, never had that. I played it on the Amiga with the 3.5" drives.

Currently Playing: The Order:1886 - Got it on sale in the Playstation Store. Really nice aesthetics.
I was playing Far Cry 5 on PS4, which released Far Cry 3 as DLC, so I played that too, then figured why not and played through Far Cry 4, and Far Cry Primal while I was at it. If I had to choose Primal was the best.
Hosting: Minecraft. The Boss approved us to run a Minecraft Server on an old server we had laying around at work. Usually if we have free time we'll play around in there. 1.13 looks good!
Looking To Play: Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, Fallout 76 (huge Fallout fan)

We started Kelvin and the Infamous Machine. So far, it's pretty cute.

@scottalanmiller just checked this out on Steam. I might just buy this. Reminds me of that old PC game - The Legend of Kyrandia: The Hand of Fate.

Just in case anybody here doesnt play Rocket League, it is on sale right now on Steam.
