Will you go Steam?

With the new Appcenter coming for Steam (allowing Software to be sold, not only Games) and also now having Steam Greenlight, I think this would be a good idea to sell your entire catalogue over on Steam. I say this because I can pay there more easily than I can here. If I want to buy something here, I need to go sideways over a friend because I do not have a CC.
On Steam I can use different digital wallets or prepaid methods to pay my purchases.
For example, I want to buy the Planet Pack, but it is not worth it sending my friend 25$ over xoom so he can buy it for me. Over Steam, this would be less of a problem.
Also, people that want to make a real game for Greenlight can purchase Art Assets and the Engine directly over Steam.
Your thoughts?
(And yes, take this also as a request for more payment methods on your site like clickandbuy.com and also regional prices for us Europeans)

Well non gaming software. I don't know if that allows the sale of artpacks, but I could imagine they could put up Torque2/3D as the base product and then art- and platformkits as DLC. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/08/08/open-the-floodgates-steam-to-sell-non-gaming-software/

Could be a good bet for an asset store, especially now that T3D is open source.

It is there :).
A rival company already released something there.
Please GarageGames, go Steam, give existing customers a steam key for Torque2D and add your art catalogue there. I'd so love buy that Planet Pack and other stuff.
And maybe add Torque3D as free to use?
