Valve just announced that there is now over 30 million active accounts for its streaming platform that delivers games and other digital entertainment.

Sales have dramatically increased over 200 percent, and there are now over 1,200 games offered.

"We believe the growth in accounts, sales, and player numbers is completely tied to this work and we plan to continue to develop the platform to offer more marketing, sales, and design tools for developers and publishers of games and digital entertainment."

To meet all this demand, the Steam infrastructure has been increased and now has ability to run at 400Gps.
