Looks like Steam is all set to take over the world. Not only have they taken on a truckload of game publishers’ titles for distribution on Steam, but they are now dropping prices crazily as well. Starting from July 10 and running for one week only through July 16, Steam and Strategy First Inc. will allow Steam subscribers to save anywhere between 25% to 75% on their Steam game catalog including the Disciples, Jagged Alliance and Space Empires series of games as well as Dangerous Waters and the FlatOut games.
