TL;DR: it works just as well as 80% of the internet out of the box. Give
it a whirl.
I installed and used steam earlier this year under Windows 7/NVDA with
very little difficulty.
As I recall there was a mild amount of attention required and I would
not recommend it for a beginning screen reader user, but if you are
comfortable with web browsing and the various kinds of half-labeled
websites out there you should be just fine.
I think some of the advanced settings such as moving your steam library
around may require more effort and possibly object navigation, but I
achieved everything I wanted to do with it with less than an hour's time
in the application. The rest of that evening was, of course, spent
playing games.
If they've continued to improve, which is plausible, then it should be
really quite effortless.

Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well.
The last time I looked at Steam, it was a nightmare to make and keep
accessible. That was a few years ago.
What is the state of Steam's accessibility now? I'm curious if Valve is
involved because they were definitely not involved back then! If Valve is not
involved, how difficult is it to make and keep accessible.
Thanks!
