John Borland, Staff Writer at CNET's News.com, has written an article about the effects Steam will have on the gaming industry and people's desire to purchase games from the traditional retail stores. It also covers a little bit about the current legal battle between Valve Software and Vivendi Universal Games:

But [Steam] has also gotten Valve into hot water with Sierra Entertainment, the Vivendi Universal subsidiary that is publishing the "Half-Life 2" game, but doesn't get the same cut of copies distributed online. Even as they jointly promote the new game, the companies are locked in a court battle over the broadband network that could help shape the increasingly profitable gaming world for years to come.

The article makes an interesting read and there's even a few comments from someone you might recognise!
