Retailers: Steam is killing PC market
Well, for once it's not piracy that's killing PC gaming!
It seems that Valve Software's dominance on the digital downloads market for PC games with Steam is getting so big that the competition is getting killed. And they don't like it.
In a move to try and get their grip back, retailers are asking publishers to make Steam-free SKUs, just like Sports Interactive did with Football Manager 2011.
One of them had the following to say:
Personally I think it's more a matter of price than anything else. Retailers with the best price for a product will always come out on top. Whether that's Steam or not.

“I’ve fought hard for my customer, and never before have I had to give my customers away. Steam is killing the PC market and it is no wonder digital retailers are failing.
“Steam is locking down the market.”
Apparently at least two other digital retailers are facing financial problems due to the dominance of Steam.“Steam is locking down the market.”
