 "Is Steam coming to iOS/Android Platforms?")
Steam is by far the best thing that’s happened to PC gaming till date and there’s no two ways about that. And now it’s slowly but surely making its way to other platforms namely the Mac, PS3 and now, if a certain Steam user is to be believed, iOS and Android platforms.
This tit bit of information comes straight from Valve head honcho, Gabe Newell’s mouth in a recent interview with Steam user Political Gamer who was lucky enough to spend the entire day at Valve (yeah we hate him).
Coming soon to a mobile near you?
Gabe obviously didn’t go into detail but it’s safe to assume that purchasing games on at least iOS platforms may not be possible thanks to the iTunes store. Besides looking into expanding Steam onto various platforms, Newell even announced a brand new video recording software for Steam called the Source Film Maker that should enter a public beta real soon.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
