Description: Valve's Steam digital software delivery system
Steam (https://www.steampowered.com) is a software content delivery system
developed by Valve software (https://www.valvesoftware.com). There is
some free software available, but for the most part the content delivered
is non-free.
.
This package provides a script that downloads and installs the Steam client,
and depends on 32-bit and 64-bit libraries and other components that are
required by the Steam client. The actual Steam installation and all Steam
games will be installed into the home directory of each user who runs
the installer script.
.
Because Steam requires 32-bit libraries, before installing this package it
will be necessary to run, as root:
.
dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt update
.
Use of Steam is subject to several license agreements and other legal
terms. Please see

and pay attention and read carefully if you're worried about your rights.
