Valve Considers Music & Video Content

Shack News is reporting that Valve is considering adding music and video content to Steam. Also, Valve has come out in strong defense of PC gaming:

A long-time proponent of PC gaming, the Valve employee took a moment to defend the platform from recent criticism.

"The NPD numbers are just a snapshot. In America, there's no doubt there's a problem with PC game retail sales," continued Lombardi, "But look at other countries like Germany, where sales are much stronger compared to the consoles in a lot of cases.

"So you have to look at the bigger picture; just look at what Blizzard did alone in 2007. And you also have to look at how money is changing hands and how games are being distributed for the PC games business. The PC is way more evolved in that respect, and digital distribution is a big part of it."
