Steam is a major PC distribution platform home to thousands of games and millions of users. The service is owned by Valve and is largest game platform with over 125 million active users. The platform most notably lacks Blizzard games as well as Electronic Arts games since they established their own distribution service. It has a notably weak presence in Asia due to Chinese regulations limiting its presence there until recently.
