I guess if anybody could do it, it would be Facebook. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/games/facebook-is-about-to-take-on-gamings-800-pound-gorilla/ar-BBw0KnG?ocid=SK216DHP SNIPPET: The company announced on August 18 that it's making an "all-new PC gaming platform." A Facebook rep that the "platform" in question is a standalone PC application — like Steam — for accessing PC games. Presumably that will include a storefront, some form of chat/friends list, and maybe even game broadcasting. Not only is this stuff standard at this point (even on game consoles), but it's all stuff that Facebook already has: Messenger and Live solve the latter two needs, and Facebook continues to operate a digital storefront on the web. It makes a lot of sense for Facebook to create something like Steam. Consider this: Facebook also has a VR headset, . Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has repeatedly stated that he believes VR and, eventually, augmented reality (AR) are the next major computing platforms.
