Steam
Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation, initially launched in 2003 as a tool for updating and patching games. Over time, it has become the primary marketplace for buying, downloading, and playing PC games. Steam offers a vast library of games from various genres, including popular titles, indie games, and classic titles.
