For now. Steam's workers are very communistic and it's a matter of time before it falls too. GOG might be the future, or perhaps a new one that doesn't exist yet.
It's going to have to be some kind of new competitor, the problem is the Valve fanboism runs deep which is why people gush over steam so much even though it's pretty much the same as all the others realistically and just another DRM based distribution platform.

How about an old competitor and not just an old one, but possibly the oldest competitor? I am of course referring to piracy. This is the real reason these companies are so hellbent on turning every release into live service slop. So they can prevent people from easily bypassing their faggotry.
GoG offers installation executables that I can save to my own physical media which they cannot retroactively take away, so as long as that's still on the table it retains value as a digital marketplace.

Once a market leader is established, it's very difficult to dethrone them. They have all the inertia.
Stuff like the colossal mistakes MySpace did, for example, happen maybe three or four times in a generation.
