Activision Signs Up for Steam

| Activision and Valve today announced that the two companies have come to an agreement that will see four Activision titles distributed on Valve's broadband digital distribution platform. The four titles mentioned in the deal include Call of Duty 2, Gun, Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive. An exact timeframe for when they will hit Steam was not stated. "Activision has been a player on every major gaming platform dating back to the Atari 2600," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "We're delighted to welcome them to Steam, and offer this legendary company's products." "Our agreement with Steam enhances our current online distribution model by allowing us to bring our games to the broadest possible audience," said Dave Anderson, Activision's Senior Director of Business Development. "As broadband penetration continues to grow worldwide, offering our titles digitally to the millions of gamers connected through Steam makes sense to us." It's not clear if further Activision games beyond those four will also come to Steam, but if sales are successful, it would seem likely that Activision and Valve would continue the partnership. |
