Origin and uPlay might consider joining Steam eventually, but it depends on their strategies and market decisions.

It's reasonable to note that Origin and uPlay lag significantly behind Steam in terms of player numbers and revenue. Relying on separate game clients is frustrating, especially for platform exclusives. Wouldn't it be better if these games were simply part of Steam instead of operating as distinct platforms?
It seems unlikely. In fact, I'm hoping Origin improves and gains more support.
Uplay seems more likely to yield, while EA with Origin appears unlikely to last.
The only way they'd accept is if no one relied on their services. Without usage, they'd be compelled to adapt. I rely on Origin smoothly now—it's improved significantly and EA's support is excellent, though their titles need enhancement. Uplay is clearly poor quality, and their offerings are at a minimum. The client recently received a makeover, but it remains quite basic. If they discontinued it and focused solely on selling games without the client, I'd be more inclined to purchase them, though it's not worth the effort right now.
