Ok, I am probably the only one on this forum not to know, but what is STEAM? I currently have all the versions and DLCs of Panzer Corps on my laptop and enjoy them over and over again. What will STEAM allow me to do and where do I go?

Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. In October 2012, Valve expanded the service to include non-gaming software. Steam provides the user with installation and automatic management of software across multiple computers, as well as community features such as friends lists and groups, cloud saving, and in-game voice and chat functionality. The software provides a freely available application programming interface (API), Steamworks, that developers can take advantage of to integrate many of Steam's functions within their software products, including copy protection, networking and matchmaking, in-game achievements and micro-transactions, and support for user-created content through Steam Workshop.
Though initially developed for use on Microsoft Windows, the client has expanded to include OS X and Linux versions, a gaming client with limited functionality on the PlayStation 3 console, and apps for chatting and shopping on iOS and Android mobile devices. In addition to being a central hub for gaming software, Valve has created a version of Steam with altered functionality to be used in schools for educational software, including a modified version of Portal 2 for teaching science and critical thinking lessons. Valve has also built SteamOS, a freely-available Linux-based operating system build around the Steam client, designed for its line of Steam Machine microconsoles as well as any personal computer meeting minimum specifications.
As of January 2014, there are over 3000 games available through Steam[6] and 75 million "active" users.[7] In February 2014, it was announced that Steam had surpassed 7.5 million concurrent users.[7] In October 2013, it was estimated that 75% of purchased games downloaded for the PC are through Steam.[8][9]

...... etc.

Thank you for your quick response...

Basically its an online shop. If you already have the game and don't know or care what Steam is just ignore it. Some people like to have all their games in Steam and they will be able to do this with PzC. It's nothing to worry about really if you are not interested!

Thanks Iain!
