Thought about that already. It´s the only big problem for such services I guess :D
However I thoguht they have just a good financial positions. Like 5-10 years ago I saw here at least many ads on new pc games showing "powered by Gamespy" and co :|

Well 5-10 years is huge by any standards. The market can change a lot in just one year.

I suppose that it is worth guessing that Steam could be behind this, as many users are switching to this software; even in America.

not only steam, every developer is starting it's own platform (ea has origin, ubisoft has uplay, etc etc).
