[nomoreheroes7]

"Steamium will be integrated with and released along side of the eagerly-anticipated Half Life 3."

That's all you need to hear to know it's an April Fool's joke. Hah.

Valve’s Steam is rapidly heading for 100 million users, most of whom have serious graphics hardware at their disposal. Valve has the clout to get mining software on to the majority of those machines simply by making it available to users and asking them nicely to download it, in exchange for participation in the network and the chance to make a little credit – redeemable for future Steam purchases and downloadable content. Basically this is Ethereum-on-Steam: Steamium, as we are calling it.
