There are a lot of other CGI and game development softwares already on Steam like 3D Coat, Substance Painter and Substance Designer, Mari, Marmoset Toolbag, and Marvelous designer will be launched September 12th.
The advantages for buying the softwares through Steam are the organization, so wherever u go if you download steam you can access the softwares that you bought easily on your library.
Every time you log in on your steam account, it will search if there is any new update for softwares or games automatycally.
There are a lot of paying methods for you to pay for everything, and it’s better if you dont want to use your credit card , and pay a lot of taxes just for using the credit card. As i do not live in the US, this is the best benefit for me.
Since other companies started launching their softwares there, i automatically bought their products, and will never have to use (unofficial stuff) again.
