Steam expands to non-gaming software.
Yep, it happened
Steam will soon start allowing non-gaming software onto their service to use. Your thoughts?

Eh, I probably won't buy any of it, but it'll no doubt go down well.
ESPECIALLY if they get things like RPG Maker on there.

This is awesome. Fortunately as a university employee, I don't ever pay money for a lot of software anyway.

Interesting, but also a bit scary... what if something happens to Steam? What will happen to my software? It's one thing to lose all your games, but to lose stuff that's actually important is something else.

Steam is not going anywhere. And if it does there's a tested plan in place to unlock everything.

No, but I mean, there can always be outages, and Steam accounts have been known to be hacked. Maybe I'm making too much of this, but productivity software just seems a bit too important to be dependent on a third party.
Unless it's only the purchasing that is handled through Steam, with the actual software running completely independently of it.

What about group/multiple licenses for a business?
For that matter, what if my wife and I wanted to use the same program at the same time on separate machines?
