Since this event, anyone who purchases 15 games or more during a Steam sale of any kind has the disease Steamitis.
Symptoms include:
Loss of money
Limiting hard drive space
Sore eyes

As opposed to digital download and physical media, it's a type of online multimedia that is delivered and consumed in a continous manner from a source, with little or no intermediate storage in network elements. It's a usually a type of subscription service.
The term "streaming" refers to the delivery method of content, rather than content itself.
Notable examples include Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max.
