Steam Sections coming to Gamestop, GAME and EB Canada
In a announcement that may have been a surprise to some and a obvious choice to others, Valve unveiled a plan to give dedicated Steam sections with leading games retailers. These sections will include Steam machines, Steam link, Steam controllers as well as Steams variety of prepaid cards.
You don't think of PC gaming these days without Steam, and as such this move may very well give them even more of a market share in the gaming world then they already have.
Gamers can expect full launch of Steam machines at places such as Gamestop, GAME and EB Canada on 10th November. Even Gabe Newell seems confident in this, at the press conference reveal, Gabe Newell has said:
GameStop, GAME UK, and EB Games are leading retail destinations for core gamers and early adopters, Creating a 'store within a store' across North America and the UK is a significant win for getting the first generation of Steam Hardware products into gamers' hands.
