1up.com has an interesting article about the history of PC game packaging. The article covers the history of the packaging from jiffy bags back in the 80’s through various different shapes and designs in the CD-ROM era of the 90’s. While at first glance this may seem to have nothing to do with our chosen subject, a deeper look will show you where they end up at; Steam.
The article is worth a read, if soley for the nostalgia, but one thing it does show is that Steam is already etching it’s place in the history of video games, even this early in its lifespan. Steam is the future of PC game distribution, and Steam Report is here to report its rise to domination.
