Steam is an application which allows you to buy digital copies of games and to play it the same day. It provides unlimited digital downloads of the games you buy. This is not an illegal thing. Personally, I think that Steam is both good and bad. They have much to improve on. Besides from being an online store, steam has a community of video game players where people create their nicknames and can be friends with other users. They can also join groups. Multi-player games bought from steam use steam nicknames as their name for mulit-player play.
IMPORTANT CONS: Steam, even though it is not a big application, hogs a lot of your computers memory. I am talking from experience when I say that Steam SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the speed of your computer. Steam can cause the computer to not shut down properly or not shut down at all when told to. It also can cause the computer to crash.
Even though Steam can be extremely annoying, the unlimited digital downloads, special offers, and large selection of games make Steam worth it, as long as you have money ;).
