People hated Steam and were very skeptical initially. Respect was earned over time

They were literally selling physical game boxes with a code and an installer for Steam in it instead of the game.

Steams initial tactics are as scummy as Epic's. The reason they don't need them anymore is because of their semi monopoly.
