Front Page Article (http://www.tribalwar.com/news/5363-How-Valve-revitalising-gaming.html)
"We're talking about Valve becoming the platform holder and guardian of the PC as a gaming system over the next two years," says Stephen Gaffney, Business Development Manager of Splash Damage.
...
With 15 million customers, their digital delivery platform has already taken on a life of its own: through it you can buy all of Valve's releases and over 250 third-party games, while it also takes care of multiplayer matchmaking, voice chat, stats collection, anti-piracy measures and sales tracking.
HypnosisFX 03-28-2008, 10:04 AM I love using Steam, Clears alot of space off my desk. that used to be cluttered by CD's and case's.
Daedalus 03-28-2008, 10:21 AM Steam is a great program, and it's exactly where gaming will end up eventually, cutting out the middle man.
Tribalbob 03-28-2008, 10:46 AM I love steam, it is an excellent program that will be on every PC I own from this day forth.

NutButter 03-28-2008, 01:56 PM I wish they would release Tribes 2 on Steam for $4.99. I bet more poeple would play that way :)
Anguish 03-28-2008, 03:20 PM Tribes 2 was released for free on fileplanet years ago.
Steam is awesome, too. =) <33 it
CarpeIppon 03-28-2008, 04:18 PM steam still irritates me from time to time, but its much much better for PC gaming than anything Intel or MS are doing.
Scott Timlock 03-28-2008, 08:58 PM petition for tribes 1,2, v on steam.
RabidLlama 03-29-2008, 01:35 AM Valve ftw.
zodie 03-29-2008, 03:49 AM they've fixed a lot of the early issues steam had
you don't hear many complaints about it anymore
CarpeIppon 03-30-2008, 03:20 AM Because people are tired of complaining.
FalseMyrmidon 03-30-2008, 11:47 AM It's not just Steam, Digital Distribution is the way of the future. There are numerous other companies doing it as well. Off the top of my head Steam, Direct2Drive, Stardock and I'm sure there are many others.
Hurricane Harold 03-30-2008, 10:25 PM I've used Steam and Stardock Central. So damn convenient.
Anguish 04-01-2008, 07:45 AM these are the same people who, three years or so ago, said that Steam was the devil and refused to play it until Valve forced it down their throats.
Just so no one forgets that. . .
DrJonez 04-01-2008, 01:00 PM <3 Steam
I used to have cancer, but now that I use Steam it's in full remission
steam is so shitty
randomly deletes shit off my hdd and says im dling/upling when im not. fucked
robr0 04-01-2008, 11:04 PM Sure, Steam is cool. It's useful. I like it. However, I wouldn't say it revitalizes anything.
