Difference between Steam,Origin and other PC gamestores?

Errr.... It's not that simple, they are all essentially just platforms for DRM controlled games. Steam is owned by valve for example and seems to be the most popular. Origin is owned by EA and Uplay by Ubisoft.
Steam (and the others presumably) has a sale on at the moment so many games are discounted from full price.
They are different from the likes of greenmangaming for example who are essentially like the high street store 'game' who just sell video games (although I do think greenmangaming has its own platform or similar too just to confuse things)

Origin is purely for EA games and they're ridiculously expensive, like £50 or £60 quid for new releases!
UPlay is for UbiSoft games only, again, pretty pricey.
Steam is all developers and is usually cheaper than many places, plus does epic sales all the time and you can find some seriously good bargains.
I don't know of any others.
