Note that releases on Steam do not by default use Steamworks API.
These can be assumed to be tied to your Steam account completely.
This unfortunately may not apply to all releases of a game.
Steam supports Windows, Mac and, to a limited degree, PS3, and Linux.
Steam also distributes digital magazines, certain movies (besides trailers and such), productivity applications (e.g. 3D modeling apps), and some other things. So not everything on Steam CDN is a game.
