Steam Registers 13 million Active Accounts

Valve has sent word that their PC platform for digital content, Steam has surpassed 13 million active accounts. The service has a selection of over 150 games and many other PC applications, movies, and demos. Steam clocks seven billion player minutes per month and around 2,500 updates have been downloaded by gamers so far.

Steam Registers 13 million Active Accounts Gabe Newell, President & Co-founder, Valve comments, “We have approached the development of Steam the same way we treat our online games; we release something we’ve tested, we internalize the feedback, and then we release new features and functionality based upon the feedback received. In Steam’s case, we have millions of customers who are gamers and dozens of customers who are developers and publishers. In the past year, we have added over 100 new titles from third parties; grown to over 13 million active accounts, and introduced new features such as Guest Passes and Free Weekends. This growth has taught us a lot and stirred many additional features and services that we’ll be releasing later this year.”

Steam, which was codenamed as Grid and Gazelle debuted in March 2002. In five years, it has come a long away. Valve has a lot of games in its cap, the most famous being Half-Life, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress and Portal. Just a few weeks ago, Eidos added their games on Steam.
