Welcome to Steam. Steam (software) Prior to Steam, Valve had problems releasing updates for their online games, such as Counter-Strike, wherein a patch would result in the disconnection of the larger part of the online user base for several days.
They decided to make a platform which would update games automatically, and implement better anti-piracy and anti-cheat measures. Valve originally approached several companies – including Microsoft, Yahoo! , and RealNetworks – to build a client with these features, but were turned down.[10] Garrysmod.org - Garry's Mod Related Files!
