Between rekindling the ebook and a DRM-free MP3 store, it's clear that the 800lb. gorilla of Web retailing is looking to cut down on its stock of cardboard boxes. Now, as we mentioned in our Opposable Thumbs journal yesterday, an inconspicuous job posting reveals that Amazon is planning to spearhead the software industry's move towards digital distribution.
Amazon's job opening, "Software Development Engineer - Video Game and Software Downloads," can't be read in many other ways than the obvious.
As I understand it, Steam offers more than just a download service.
Would people be interested in a pure download service?
