Name a few great free games available on Steam. Over the years Valve has successfully created a platform that hosts games from most other publishers, studios, and game creators in general. The service had a slow start, then facing competition from brick and mortar stores and physical copies, but it wasn't long until it became the largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming. Steam was originally created by Half-Life developer Valve as a platform to update their games and distribute them digitally. With Steam you can also join the Steam Community of PC gamers, join game groups, form clans, chat in-game and more. Where did you get this information from? I'd like to see.Instantly access to your favorite games on Steam, with thousands of games, exclusive deals, automatic game updates and other great perks. There is currently some major changes to steam going on in the background, so who knows maybe its coming, maybe its not.

Why Apple is requiring 64bit only programs, I don't know, but that was the last I heard of it, that its was going to require 64bit programs only. That being said, they "might" move to a 64 bit client anyway, because from my understanding the MAC OS is going to require all programs that run on it to be 64 bit and unless Valve wants a version that they will have to take care of thats very different from the 32bit client, they might as well move every client (Windows, Linux and MAC) to 64 bit so that all the coding is similar and hunting and fixing bugs would be easier. Seriously it doesn't do anything better if it was 64 bit instead of 32 bit.


It won't use memory better as it uses under 4 gigs of memory, in fact it doesn't even come close to using 1 gig of memory. There are already examples of people with gigabit (1, 2 and 10) connections downloading steam games on a 32 bit client and they were getting their full speeds.Ī 64 bit steam client does nothing for you. And why not in download speed?īecause you can only download as fast as your ISP will allow it. in terms of download speed yeah you're not gonna say any difference.
