Computer games are as much art as music, movies, and books. Sometimes developers put into their creations not only their efforts, time, and money but also their hearts and souls. They can be independent and enthusiastic developers, as well as big studios, designing ААА projects. To enjoy digital entertainment, you only need to install Steam. We will tell you what this program is.

Steam for Windows is designed to distribute computer games and other services. It belongs to Valve, a well-known company engaged in game development. With this service, you can buy and install only licensed and high-quality computer games on the Internet, get regular bonuses during pre-orders, find out the latest news from the world of your favorite computer games, and find friends with shared interests.
