Valve Announces "Steam" Content Delivery System

Posted by timothy on from the puff-puff dept.

Greg Brown writes: "Valve just officially announced Steam, its new content delivery system that works automatically over the internet. While this has been in the works for a while, including a semi-public testing period, it has slowly been refined to the point that it is faster and more convenient than other methods. Valve is also planning on licensing it to other developers to use to distribute their games online. Looks like the game-publishing heavyweights (EA and Sierra) may be outdated. More info from Gamespy and ShackNews."

    Funny and stylish. Almost believeable, if it weren't for the fact that online Windows gamers have already sold their soul to the marketers for a few quick frags and levels to make up for their inferiority complexes.

    And please.. Team Fortress Classic is an insult to the Real TF - a mod to THE ORIGINAL QUAKE.

    Btw, the real CmdrTaco is User #1 folks!
