EA has signed on with Valve’s highly popular digital distribution program Steam to distribute their games including recent releases, and with some added good news. Titles such as Spore and Mass Effect that have come under heavy fire for DRM usage, will no longer have any SecuROM protection. All games will use Steam’s DRM.

Steam is offering 22 Valve games for $99, this includes the unreleased Left 4 Dead.

This week in PC gaming news we have some interesting tidbits, some huge tidbits, and some not so huge… well you get the idea.
