Many older gamers will remember when manuals had blank pages to take notes during play, and it's possible that Valve may be bringing this idea back for its Steam platform. While alternative PC clients like Epic Games Store are great for free titles, Steam is undoubtedly the head honcho of the industry, beginning life almost 20 years ago and helping to set the bar for the future of digital gaming.As well as being an originator, conceived because Valve initially wanted fans to have an easier way of updating the studio's own games, one of the reasons it's still successful today is that Steam has frequent sales events, when players can download all manner of releases at reduced prices. As well as discounted games from the AAA and indie spheres, the PC client is frequently being updated, often with a few tweaks here and there or some bug fixes, but there are also some major features that get implemented.RELATED: Valve is Giving Steam Wallet Credit to Some Recent Steam Deck BuyersAs reported by PC Gamer, a future update for Steam could see the platform adding a new "game notes" system, which could give players a way of making notes during gaming sessions, though that is mostly speculation at this stage. The information comes from Twitter user Pavel Djundik, who runs SteamDB, a third-party website that chronicles all things related to Valve's service. Djundik uploaded a couple of screenshots along with a tweet showing that this feature appears to be in development. However, it should be noted that, at the time of writing, there's been no official word on whether this is coming to the platform.

It would be interesting to see what this new feature is, if indeed it does get added. As mentioned earlier, Steam is always being updated with new ideas, such as the personalized shopping recommendations that went live a few months ago. It's one of the reasons the software is still many people's go-to when it comes to downloading PC games. If a note-taking system does get implemented, it could prove useful, especially for gamers who still like to reach for a scrap of paper and a pen in order to jot something game related down.

While Steam is the most lucrative asset for the company, there are many who lament the fact that Valve doesn't really make games anymore. It's a bit of a shame given how iconic Half-Life and its sequel were, but at least Gabe Newell and his team are still making waves when it comes to PC gaming in general, to say nothing of the release of the popular Steam Deck.
