Valve registers the domain for Steam.tv (update: it’s streaming Dota 2)

It looks like Valve has registered for the Steam.tv domain, as SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik first spotted. By looking at the source data for the webpage (which you can do by hitting F12 in Chrome), Djundik found that Steam.tv is probably a real Valve product, because steamcommunity.com owns its security certificate. That SSL certificate is from August 14, which is just three days ago. And now, after I posted this story, Steam.tv has begun broadcasting a livestream of Dota 2.

I’ve reached out to Valve to ask for details about what this product is, and I’ll update this story when and if I get an answer.
