no. steam is not a pirating site. please delete that site name from your post.

it started around the time when the yearly anime sale started. crunchyroll did a thing with valve to help bring the streaming licenses to steam. now valve and the licensors are working together to keep the list and grow it.

I've always been confused about Steam dabbling in movies in general.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

they are working on mobile playback right now. i think its a good thing for those who are set on having everything purchased in steam. i am not one of "those people."

[Smugass Braixen-Chan]

Also, please remove the mention of that site.

I went there once, they tried to coerce me into switching off my add-block, and as soon as I did, this happened.

given that i currently watch about 8 different anime series every season, this is nothing.

if you sort the list by date you see a buch chunk in march. that is when the coop with cruncyroll started.

No...unlike KissAnime, Steam is actually legal.

[Snuffy]

Yeah kissanime is most likely illegal

Its probably not related to kissanime. They just make money off of advertising that i guess

How is that not related? That website and others like it are chock full of malware and viruses.

[Smugass Braixen-Chan]

Yeah, it's not related. They're just making money off forcing malware and phishing sites onto me.

Also I just looked up anime movies on Steam, and after collating entries that are related to each other (e.g. the 5 Yu-Gi-Ohs, and the 5 Wakfu movies) there are only 27 animes on Steam

For some reason, Valve decided that Steam's future is in going beyond just games and catering to the general digital media desires of people with geekystuff tastes, I think.

I don't agree with this decision, but hey, I don't run Valve. So I don't buy these anime series here.

Plus I don't think you can even download them. I think they're just streaming. Also not sure if it's only a rental or an actual anytime-access pass.

101 different titles.

I'm only getting 45 results. And most of them are franchises with multiple entries.

Note that some are multiple listings for the same franchise, because they're different sub-series ("seasons").

I'm getting 101 results including these "duplicates", as well as including some things some people might not count as anime such as RWBY and Wakfu.

They're not really trying to compete with hulu or netflix.
