Steam had revolutionized the gaming sector similar to what Netflix did to movies, you no longer had to leave your house to go purchase a game or even stand in long lines on the day of its release, it would simply be available to all for purchase through Steam. Steam consists of over 50,000 games that you can purchase and download, ranging from Action and RPG to Card turn-based games. There is a game for everyone on Steam, Similarly, these games are also priced quite differently and occasionally many have wondered which is the most expensive game on Steam? We did some digging and will tell you what we know by the end of this article.
Steam was released on September 12, 2003, developed by Valve who is also the developer of the well-known game Half-Life.
