'''[http://store.steampowered.com/ Steam]''' is the most popular [[Digital Distribution]] platform for PC games. Created by [[Valve Corporation]] in 2004 to distribute and integrate their own games cheaply, it has grown from its shaky and buggy beginnings into the service that PC gamers can use for their online middleware needs. (Provided you have a decently fast internet connection and a way of buying online.) It also features a messaging system, an online multiplayer platform, [[Cosmetic Award|Achievements]], and an in-game Web browser, making it something like the PC equivalent of [[Xbox]] [[Xbox 360|Live]], except free, and marketed at an older demographic. And like Live, it has since gone cross-platform, supporting MacOS X in addition to Windows.
