Steam might start music, movie, TV series distribution

According to a recent tweet by Steam Database, code in Steam alludes to the digital distribution platform expanding into the realm of movies, TV series, and music.

Tech site Engadget immediately pointed this out as a move by Steam to rival Apple and Google on the content distribution front, which, with around 75 million Steam users already in their pocket, is a realistic goal.

Add on the addition of a Steam Music/Movie Summer Sale, and no doubt they will attract a few iTunes users.

Engadget did, however, exercise some caution in their reporting, warning readers that the code may be related existing functionality – such as purchasing a game’s soundtrack.

Let’s hope it’s the former, and we can get our music and movies from Steam quick, easy, and cheap, just like our games.
