Steam subscription service?
https://win.gg/news/4171/valve-building-new-subscription-service-with-half-life-2-remaster

I don't know if the source is trustworthy, but even a rumor makes me nervous. Would valve take our game libraries and lock them behind a subscription fee?

I guess the page is blocked for a good reason.
I'd be curious how Valve would work it out with all these different game devs and publishers, who'll want a piece of the share.
Updates deployed to Dota 2 confirm that the Steam Client is coming to MacOSX, Linux, and Windows XP with native support

Stopped right there. WinXP? Fake.
Do you have an actual, credible source? Anyone can make up rumours.

This is the only source. If it's not true, I'll be very relieved, but I'm a worry wart so these things make me nervous.
That article sounds a bit wonky

Windows XP? The same windows XP that has been discontinued and does not work anymore for steam.....

Also it says access to VALVE's catalog, not STEAM's catalog. That is a VERY big distinction

Jesus christ what kind of a source is that?

Valve have been talking to numerous credible and genuine media outlets in recent weeks and they haven't said anything like this. Just trash site looking for clicks or trying to create a rumour that if in the future it becomes true, they can claim they were right.

If this was a real piece of news it would be all over the real media.
wtf is this?
the whole thing reeks after a badly trained fourtune troll wrote it.

not anything in this article is correct, not even the simplest stuff.
There is a part of that article which some have been posting about in the CS:GO forum...

Fun stuff to read and forget about.

April fools day in some countries already.
why would it be a joke, subscriptions like XGP and U+ aren't that bad at all, wouldn't mind if Valve did something like that as well as long as there's good games in there

Game devs/pubs would have to opt into it for a cut.

I'd have taken a look at the day the article came out. March 30. Awfully close to April fools day. That would be a big flag. Obviously a joke
