Simiar to Live, their social features, like friends and acheievements, are set up only so that you feel almost obligated to use their retail portal so that they can be a dominant retailer of digital downloads. You are paying per download in the price of each game versus a subscription fee. |
You must have used Steam in 2005...
Welcome to 2012, where Steam isn't only a Store but a full blown online service with all the services (plus a few extra) offered by X-box Live and PSN:
http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/gameservices.php
You can add to that list cloud storage for storing saved games (up to 100mb per game)
