An online gaming store created by Valve as a way to make money off of games, people worked hard on, just so they can make a profit because THEY'RE TOO DAMN LAZY TO MAKE HALF-LIFE 3 OR A NEW PORTAL GAME! Way to go Gabe Newell, suck up all the profits from the hard work indie developers go through only to find out all the cash goes to Newell buying more Big Macs to sustain his life-support.
Gabe Newell:"Suddenly I lost my ability to make new games."
Valve Employee: "Dude, let's be like EA and make a store called Steam, where we trick game developers to making games on the store, where they believe they would get the majority of the profit, but in reality, we take all the cash and buy another McDonalds for you."
Gabe Newell: "That's a shit-tastic idea!"

Get the Steammug. The act of spamming your Twitter with Kanye quotes, and #Steamed after every sentence. Bonus points to those who favorite their own tweets.

Get the Steamedmug. Internet Game Distribution Program.
Created for the early release of Half-Life 2, after high demand for the game before its release.
As a result, they were forced to release in a pre-stable state.
Thats right - ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!
Utilising EXTREMELY fast download servers and high compression rates, game file sharing, etc. Steam is one of the most complicated gme downloading system devised in recent years.
