Based on the development of the Internet, the game platform launched by the Internet companies led by Valve has changed the way consumers purchase games. Compared with the previous methods based through CDS, the emergence of game platforms makes game developers have more sales methods, such as progressive maintenance of games, the releases of subsequent content in the form of DLC and other forms, and the establishment of communities among players, release modules and participate in the development. Noted that promoting on gaming platforms has become the primary means of selling in process of game development, thus developers have moved the competition online. Steam is Valve’s gaming platform that offers digital rights management, game publishing, streaming, social networking and more.
