How does "Steam" game server work

[Crazyeighties]

I was wondering how "steam " works I have heard friends talk about it but I there are a few things I don't understand. If you use steam are the games that are saved on your computer put on your account. Can you just have the games in your steam library instead of having them take up room on your machine, can you use steam for ps3 games that have been purchased from the PSN? And most important is a steam account free?

Ok, not sure if this is the right place, probably easier to just go to the official steam page, but what the hell.

 

-Steam games are bound to your account, not to your computer.

-They will live in your account library, online.

-You can install them from your library.

-Once you uninstall them for your computer, they will remain in your account library, allowing you to reinstall however many times you wish.

-Your PS3 games on PSN are separate from your PC games on your Steam account. You can link some of them, to share achievements, but you can't install a PC-only game from your Steam account into your PS3, and you can't install a PS3-only game from your PSN account into your PC.

-Yes, completely free.
