Steamworks is a free development suite for game developers including all important and needed files and tools for developing games on Steam. It can optimize the settings in the game to run on various Windows computers. The Steamworks Common Redistributables are available on both 32-bit and 64-bit PCs.
Your games will crash while launching when there are no Steamworks Common Redistributables. If you happen to remove the common redistributables, you will experience problems while playing or launching the game. For this reason, you must not delete the Steamworks Common Redistributables.
Steam uses the Steamworks Common Redistributables (228980) (aka Steamworks Shared or CommonRedist ) package to collect several packages, which are often a dependency for games and install those automatically if required.
Basically when you register for Steamworks, you have to pay 100$ and they give you one "slot" for a game. If you want to publish another game, you'll just have to buy another slot for 100$.
