In it's early stages, Steam was also instrumental in the success of certain independent games, advertising such titles as Altitude and World of Goo on its front page alongside higher profile games like Fallout 3 or Grand Theft Auto IV. Since then, it has become a popular marketplace for publishers large and small, becoming the primary digital distribution system for PC games. However, starting in 2005, Valve began signing deals with third-parties to bring other games onto the platform, starting with Rag Doll Kung Fu.

Originally, Steam was created solely as an easy distribution and update system for Valve's own games, especially the popular Counter-Strike series and the then-upcoming Half-Life 2.
At launch, it was widely criticized due to various bugs and frequent server issues, however, over the years it has vastly improved and is now seen as a fast, stable, and reliable service. First revealed at GDC (Game Developers Conference) in 2002, Steam was officially released to the public on September 12, 2003. Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, and communications platform created and maintained by Valve Corporation. Overview Steam Homepage, taken from 3 June 2018
