Steam seemed unassailable by competition until now - is this the solution to competing with platforms that have a monopoly from community lock in (Facebook and Youtube being good examples)?

Build a tangentially related service, build up your own community and then slowly pivot into their space once you've got your userbase.

Anecdotally everyone I know who uses Steam is also on Discord for chat now because it works so well.
