I've read the responses to my last post, and I agree I might be overestimating the importance of Steam.
JDR obviously understood what I meant though, which was that since I'm not going to buy FO76 on the first day, there's a high chance I'll never buy it. Because what I do if I'm slightly interested in a game is I'll wishlist it on Steam, and further down the road the chance is pretty damn high I'll actually buy the game too, since I visit my wishlist whenever I don't know what game to play.
Like I said, I would gladly play ME3. But it's Origin only, and that means that whenever I'm on the lookout for something new to play, I will be reminded of some other game instead.
I might be in a very small minority though, but I never use the other platforms except for when out to purchase a specific game, which usually means it's a Day 1 purchase. Day 10, 100 or 1000, of it's not on Steam, I've probably forgotten about it.
