I could probably dump discord, but there's just no alternative to Steam. It succeeded, where literally every other publisher failed, to unify game distribution on the PC. Even if valve made steam itself FOSS and let anyone clone it, there's no chance in hell they'll get anyone but the most indi of studios to launch anything on it, let alone exclusively.
Of all the proprietary codebases and their companies, Steam and Valve are the only ones I respect.
(Also Slack, but I'm forced to use that for work)
