Steam just got a whole bunch of new movies for your area.  Valve&#8217;s gaming service has had movies since March 2015, but unless you wanted to watch a lot of ultra indie films like <a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/371230\/\">Coffee, Kill Boss<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/382780\/\">Steve Chong Finds Out That Suicide is a Bad Idea<\/a>, then there wasn&#8217;t much to recommend. (The Mad Max movies were added a little later, but that was a promotional deal that coincided with the release of the game from Avalanche.) Steam just took a big step into the space carved out by other media streaming services by signing a deal with Lionsgate. <a href=\"http:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/search\/?developer=Lionsgate\">Check it out<\/a>!
