Forget competing, they lack even the basics.
What do you consider basic that it's still missing? To be honest I've felt content with it as a game launcher for a while now, but I admittedly don't use it that often either.
For me it's the inability to set my status to "invisible".
It's not that I don't want to game with people, but sometimes I want to practice alone without being bombarded by invites.
Fair enough! I barely use its social side since most of the games I've played on there are singleplayer titles - honestly didn't even know that wasn't there yet!
Remote play together, local network streaming, etc.
I guess our opinions differ, because I don't consider either of those to be "basics". They're nice features for e.g., Steam to have, sure, but they're not "game launcher 101" imo.
That's a fair take. We all have different priorities.
We use in home streaming nearly every day now, so it's a must have for me. Remote play together is critical for certain games as well.
