Gabe Newell, President of Valve, had the following to say:
PC gaming is thriving, and has evolved into an era of constant connectivity, That connectivity gives us the ability to have a much better relationship with customers, not just for delivering our games, but across all aspects of our business - including the design, development, and support of our games. Features like Guest Passes, Free Weekends, Gifting, and the Steam Community have been very well received both by customers and the developers who are using Steam. We are accelerating our release of new functionality in the next year as well as finding new ways to work with our partners such as the release of Steamworks, which allows them to bring the many benefits of Steam to their packaged products.With the library of Steam titles now being huge, and many more titles set to be released this year, it looks as though Steam will continue growing for a while yet.
