We have previously talked quite a bit about Google and their ambitious plans to rule the universe from a new and horrible and privacy invading browser (here, here, and here) to rumors of an OS and other software and hardware; but now it seems that there is a possibility that Google may be grabbing up Valve, but not for their game developers simply for their content distribution service Steam.
Most people are familiar with Steam, probably one of the best content distribution sources out there. If this happens what does this mean for you and me? Well to me it means the end of the great service we have gotten used to with Steam, if Google follows normal patterns they will try their best to put in methods to track everything about your gaming. From how long you play to what you do and say while playing. I imagine you can also expect to be bombarded by more and more adds in the games you get from Stoogle (Or as Charlie calls it Voogle). In short Google will simply destroy Steam as we know it and will, in the end, loose as those of us who have come to view Google with a Jaundiced Eye will steer well clear of this new threat to our security and privacy.
Steam is dead, Long live Steam maybe uttered soon by gamers.
