Just installed Bendy and the Ink Machine.
My son enjoyed that one for a little bit. He still likes 5 Nights at Freddy's... Though he tends to play those more on Roblox than anywhere else.

The kids are busily playing Goat Simulator now.

Looks like Discord is setting itself up to compete with Steam (opinion): https://variety.com/2018/gaming/news/discord-game-store-free-games-1202900484/.

Yep, with Twitch/Amazon on top of that we may see some competition in this particular market.... I doubt it will substantial though Valve really has the keys to the kingdom here.

I dont see how any org gains traction on Steam or even GoG. Have you looked at the twitch desktop client? Seizure inducing at best, though since it is Amazon they will likely redesign the ui every week just like with their Prime website. The steam interface is clean, refined over the last 20 years, though the new chat client update is gross. Not to mention there are twenty thousand or more games i can buy on Steam plus movies and tv shows now.
I only use Discord because Skype got butchered by MS. This Discord 'launch any game from Discord' thing smacks of raptr, the PUPware that amd was shoveling down user throats a couple years ago with Catalyst updates. I guess there are a few people who dont use Steam, that may want to buy something through Discord or Twitch, but it has to be less than 1 in 100 pc gamers. -

If they can get a few indie titles that go big then they can start to get companies to do multi sourcing deals with them, and begin to eat away at Steam's market share. It isn't going to be fast or easy, but there is room particularly if they have the depth of resources to take some financial losses by having better sales than Steam.

Ill certainly see the updates for this as i use Discord a few times a week. I just dont want a half dozen different online store apps on my computer.

Classic role playing game from around 1985. Came out on systems like the Commodore 64, Amiga 1000, and Apple ][. It was a landmark game in its day and is considered one of the foundations of modern RPG gaming.
