Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems' - eviltoast
"Just because you are big enough to build something doesn’t mean people will use it."

I did not realize they were trying to compete in the first place.

      Yeah me too since I don’t really play multiplayer games developed by valve anymore.

      I will say though, to me it is a lot more than just loot boxes. These “in game” items have real world value which add to the risk reward factor that made them so addictive to me growing up

      Valve hasn’t really done much to stop this issue
