Steam

Concept »

Steam is a digital distribution service owned by Valve. Originally created to distribute its own games, Steam has since expanded to become the de facto standard for digital distribution of PC games, and supports community features, downloadable content and achievements. Starting 2010, Steam now offers Mac games as well.

Steam should be a platform, not a concept!

We don't have the power to make platforms. Staff (and possibly mods, but I don't know about mods) have to do it.

I'll agree on this one.

Well, if Steam was a platform, then it would be added to probably 75% of all PC games.

That's not true. You're discounting many indie games and old games.
