Steam
Steam is an online video game store launched in 2003 by Valve. Games on Steam can be played on PCs, including Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. There are dozens of thousands of titles there with over 100 million active users all over the world. Games on Steam are ranged by genres and popularity; more games are recommended to players depending on their previous purchases. Some games on Steam require special hardware, such as VR-headsets or controllers. Time-limited offers, personal recommendations, and holiday bundles are featured on the main Steam page. Players can add games to their Steam wishlists to track them down and get a notification when they are out.
Steam also acts as a social network for PC players that can discuss and rate games and get achievements. In 2018 Valve released Steam TV - a service to stream international game tournaments.
