TIL that steam distribution was invented in the USA around 1880, and is still used in NYC. Never occurred to me that “Steam Plants” literally produce steam for distribution. I thought that was a glib reference to the white smoke they produce!

Valve's "Steam" platform naming makes more sense from this perspective. Literally the pipes transporting games to customers.
