I agree there is, for small, niche players who are more flexible and adaptive to their market than, say, Steam.

Can a brick-and-mortar dinosaur (with a lot of temporary money) just buy their way into being a Steam competitor? I doubt it.

So they are going to compete with Stadia?

Google Stadia?

Actually Stadia will be dead in a year, judging by what has happened with it. Still, what does gamestop have in terms of software? A webdev team? Creating a games streaming platform is an enormous project.

Something like that eventually.
