I contacted Steam to find out if they would consider porting Steam client to the Amiga.
Awaiting a reply.    who thinks this is a great idea?


There are so many things wrong with this idea I don't even now where to start.
Of course until you explained that your email to Steam (Valve) was related to a potential retro marketplace most people pointed out the client on its own is pretty much useless.

And even after you explained your retro angle it is still a futile idea as Steam (Valve) would have to chase distribution rights for the games that would have a limited return.

Ideally, you would have contacted someone who is already part of the way there, i.e. Cloanto. Creating a steam-like client and portal for a game marketplace and retro gaming community would be more aligned with their existing goals.
