The Age of Steam on Edge Online is the clever title for a brief history of Valve's Steam platform that starts from the very beginning, described by Valve's Gabe Newell as: "The genesis of Steam really came in the late '90s when people at Valve were pretty aggressive users of the internet and bulletin boards." They describe the growth of the platform, and the platform's increasing appeal to other developers through the Steamworks tools, and recent triumphs like the addition of EA titles to their offerings. "At the moment, we’re doing really well, but as soon as someone else has better developer tools and useful things for customers, they’ll move," is another quote from Gabe Newell, who goes on to say why they can't rest on their laurels: "That’s a dominant thing on the internet – customers aren’t locked into what you’re doing at all. That’s why we’re focused on creating services for them: services control the dominant distribution tool at any time."
