| Feb 19, 2013 at 4:18 | comment | added | galacticninja | What makes Steam a "game-specific hardware and/or utility", and a graphics card's drivers/software used primarily in the context of gaming, not a "game-specific hardware and/or utility"? (I don't want to start a long-winded discussion, I just would like ask that this point be included in your answer.) | |

Since that's the only way Steam games work, Steam is a gaming platform. Amazon just allows you to buy and download your games. It has no application to launch your games. | |
