Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications platform developed by the Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. Steam also has community features, automated game updates, and in-game voice and chat functionality. As of 2010, there are over 1,100 games available through Steam. In January 2010 Valve claimed that it had surpassed 25 million active user accounts. Although Valve never releases sales figures, Steam is estimated to have a 70% share of the digital distribution market for video games.
Dont ask, just seen a question so really down to earth answere is: A place where you can buy games, get good deals, and find friends.... I still havent seen over 1,100 games yet on steam. counted around 800 something.... But who's counting.....

I added myself to this group, but I never see any group announcements or the like. Oh well, at least I get to show support for the guys somewhere else other than here.
