APLICACIONES NO RELACIONADAS CON VIDEOJUEGOS EN STEAM

Esto es lo que va a ocurrir en su plataforma de videojuegos para PC y Mac favorita, o casi, a partir del próximo 5 de Septiembre y por ahora solamente se sabe que van a publicarse bajo la categoría de «Software».

Estos programas harán uso de las ventajas que proporcina Steamworks, fácil instalación, actualizaciones constantes y la posibilidad de guardar nuestros datos y trabajo en el sistema Steam Cloud, la nube vamos, para poder usarlos si tenemos que realizar un viaje. Parece un movimiento muy ágil e inteligente de Valve pero, personalmente, espero que haya una especie de filtro para poder tener esta nueva característica aparte a ser posible.

Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the first set of Software titles are heading to Steam, marking a major expansion to the platform most commonly known as a leading destination for PC and Mac games.

The Software titles coming to Steam range from creativity to productivity. Many of the launch titles will take advantage of popular Steamworks features, such as easy installation, automatic updating, and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you.

More Software titles will be added in an ongoing fashion following the September 5th launch, and developers will be welcome to submit Software titles via Steam Greenlight.

«The 40 million gamers frequenting Steam are interested in more than playing games,» said Mark Richardson at Valve. «They have told us they would like to have more of their software on Steam, so this expansion is in response to those customer requests.»
