Steam is a content delivery, digital rights management, multiplayer and communications service and platform developed by Valve Corporation for digital entertainment. It is currently used to digitally distribute and manage games. Some of the most famous downloaded and played games via Steam are Half-Life and Half-Life 2.
Steam purchases are made through the client software, with an encrypted connection. All prices are listed in USD rather than the user's local currency. Now, tax is not applied to the quoted price until the very last stage of the purchase, after the user has entered their billing information, so you have all the means to safely download whatever game you wish without any head aches. Well, you don't need all the details really, it's idiot proof. Just check out the official site.
