Steam
is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and
communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to
distribute games and related media online, from small independent
developers to larger software houses. In October 2012, Valve expanded
the service to include non-gaming software. Steam provides the user with
installation and automatic management of software across multiple
computers, as well as community features such as friends lists and
groups, cloud saving, and in-game voice and chat functionality. The
software provides a freely available application programming interface
(API), Steamworks, that developers can take advantage of to integrate
many of Steam's functions within their software products, including copy
protection, networking and matchmaking, in-game achievements and
micro-transactions, and support for user-created content through Steam
