MODERATORS
Reviews, forums, news... All things you shouldn't depend on a storefront to do because the store has an incentive not to be neutral...
That’s user reviews, game news provided by game making companies. The storefront is a platform where those are posted. Storefront is a place where you search for product and having them in the storefront is very convenient and is something users want. But you are right, they should not be controlled and manipulated by storefront. And they are not in case of STEAM, for example. Storefronts should compete how good they can give this ecosystem to user, not how much games they can lock out from other stores. That, and the cost of games.
"and they are not in case of Steam"
Let me introduce you to reviews on Steam and their forums!
You're also the one who pointed out that you prefer Steam because it's got them but now it suddenly doesn't? You're hard to follow buddy! Unless you're saying they don't have control over their own forums and the user reviews posted on their storefront???
