Games, games and games that's what Steam is all about right? Not anymore, Valve launched their new store where you can get all kinds of software. Currently you can get utility, development, and benchmarking tools like 3DMark Vantage. The store has a limited amount of software at the moment but this will expand much more over time.
Currently the software that they're selling is not all to bad but ain't good either, but yea it's just live so I wonder what the future will bring us! ~ Rafael De Jongh
A lot of buzz around Battlefield 3 the last few days, apparently they are permanently banning people for using a color tweak that a few players made. DICE is not happy with it: “Too colorful. Also, I wouldn't use those hacks if you don’t want a permanent ban on your account. FYI warning.”
This is pretty awful. There is nothing wrong with making a game better to those who want it 'better' in their own stand point. ~ KiLlEr10312
