Today, Valve confirmed the date that PC gamers would lose their money even quicker to their super-giant digital download service Steam. Available (but in closed beta) for both iOS and Android platforms, you can now take Steam anywhere you want meaning that you no longer have an excuse to miss out on those ridiculously succulent deals. The program is free to download, and it allows you check your friends list, chat with those on said list and of course, buy games.
As sad as it may sound, I have contacted friends many a time while on holiday or some other situation in which a computer isn’t available so that they could inform me what the Steam deals were on that day. I don’t want to miss out, do I? Now I have the comfort of being able to access the money burning service straight from my phone. If you want in on the beta, simply download the app from the App Store or Android Market and login. You’ll be unsuccessful because you won’t have beta access, but it’ll let the people at Valve know that you’re interested.
Also, for anyone interested in the Steam mobile app for iOS devices, it is only available to IPhone 3GS and onwards users. I learned that myself today
