An Account for the Steam program/engine, with a steam account you can access alot of games, like Valve's Half Life series, or Counter Strike.
Welcome to Steam

Yea its the program wher u can run games and buy them, Like half life 2, counter strike and alot of other games, steam its kinda cool.

It's one of the biggest programs out there.
Basically it's really hard to crack, and even if you crack it, you cannot play it online.
It became very popular in the last year, games like Bioshock, Painkiller, and ofcourse, the valve games are on it.
