      I don’t know so much about EGS, but probably some of the following (most of which I don’t use very often, I hope I recall correctly)

      • Refunds
      • Family sharing of games
      • Sharing games for other local users
      • Being able to lend games
      • Remote Play (with friends)
      • Remote Play (stream for a local machine)
      • Linux support through proton
      • probably more?

        • Workshop, providing mod hosting/browser/framework for API
        • controller configuration tools
        • Better storefront with decent discovery and better search (Although this wouldn’t be a condiment in the anology)
        • Passable social tools (IE voice chat)
        • Game streaming to friends
        • Cloud saves
        • Relatively good review system
        • Item marketplace and trading

      Free cloud backups of save files is really nice.

      Free hosting of screenshots, too.

      Free forums (though they tend to suck. I guess that’s like they only have basic yellow mustard or something, in this metaphor)
