Valve announced Wednesday it plans to expand its Steam marketplace beyond games. Steam came to the Mac in 2010 as a way to purchase, install, and update games both from Valve and other vendors. This venture looks to expand beyond just games into other software, similar to Apple's Mac App Store.
The Software titles coming to Steam range from creativity to productivity. Many of the launch titles will take advantage of popular Steamworks features, such as easy installation, automatic updating, and the ability to save your work to your personal Steam Cloud space so your files may travel with you.
The expansion is slated for September 5th and will include both Mac and PC titles.
