Analyst: Amazon prepping to launch Steam-like PC game download service

At the moment, Valve's Steam service is the most popular place to purchase and download PC games. However is one of the biggest retailers on the planet about to step into the fray? According to a report on Gamasutra, Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian says, "Yes."

Sebastian says several new job opening at Amazon.com indicate that the web retailer is designing a new digital download service that would be comparable to Steam and other services. Amazon.com currently sells casual games via download but sells high end PC games via their standard mail order service. So far Amazon.com has not commented on their future PC game plans.
