Steam surpasses 65 million users
Steam reached its current milestone as Valve prepares to launch Steam Machines, an initiative that aims to bring PC gaming to the living room with dedicated hardware, a platform-specific operating system, and a gaming-optimized controller. Currently, Steam hosts over 3,000 downloadable games from a broad spectrum of publishers and independent developers.
"The main goal of Steam has always been to increase the quality of the user's experience by reducing the distance between content creators and their audience," said Valve president Gabe Newell. "As the platform grows, our job is to adapt to the changing needs of both the development and user communities. In the coming year, we plan to make perhaps our most significant collaborations with both communities through the Steam Dev Days and the Steam Machines beta."

ZENU96daRealRush 65 Million users?!?!?! That is alot, sadly I don't have Steam!
Highly recommend getting it, they have cheap games and the graphics are twice as better on the pc than a console. A regular pc is said to be more powerful than the next gen consoles.
to be honest the games aren't really that cheap, especially the new ones you can get them cheaper at amazon :0

KAQ Well that's good maybe this could be the future of gaming :)
PC gaming is rising in popularity pretty quickly so maybe you could call it that. I wouldn't mind seeing steam become more popular in the coming years

This isn't really much of a suprise to me, as steam can be downloaded on any PC, and most people have a PC.

Wish I could afford a computer to play Steam. Left 4 Dead 2 is one of my favorite series, so I love Valve. But, good job Steam! Keep it up!

This is a pretty large milestone for steam. It's great to see that the interest in PC gaming has absolutely sky-rocketed over the past year. At this rate we may be seeing 100 million in the next few years
