If there's one for Midtown Madness 3, I'll pee myself right here, right now.
Releasing that game as an Xbox exclusive was a crime, given that the previous games had a PC version (actually that's the only version of them).

Truly Weird Stuff Showing Up in Steam Database (Halo, KOF13, other unlikely stuff)

Yup, that's an official icon for game addon, The Conquerors.
This is so weird, that MS neglected online gaming stores for so long. You couldn't even purchase most of the games they published pre-GFWL time in their own GFWL store. And even some of the games, that used it, were not available there like Gears of War PC...

wow, this is going haywire. Even if only half of this ends up happening it's a clear sign things are changing.

I'm remaining
optimistic that Halo 3 may be ported to PC but the deal with Steam fell through at some point.

I wouldn't worry about the Dyad leak either. This was actually a much better reveal, because all this talk got me going WTF is Dyad and made me go look. Not that I wouldn't have looked when it got released in March anyways. Just got me to pay attention sooner.
Ultimately, though, it's going to do what it does based on user buzz of the actual game. I don't think a good/bad reveal is going to have much affect either way (though I would put this closer to the good category).

What the...
The Final Fantasy games have been in the registry for AGES haven't they? VII has at least.

Yes, since Eidos signed with Valve years and years ago.

Ooo:
51100 ValveTestApp51100 Tactical Intervention
Gooseman's spiritual sequel to Counter-Strike. Some people were saying that it would be a Steamworks title last year, so I guess it'll happen.

Homefront 2, several Homefront (2?) betas left over.
Saints Row IV and Saints Row Episode 4, whatever the latter is.
Edit: Not that there was ever any doubt that these games were coming to Steam if they were to come out, that is.
Edit II:
Makes sense.
Edit III:
Metro: Last Light DLC already in the registry, might be pre-order stuff.
Edit IV:
Team Fortress 2 also has a "DLC range".

I knew about VII and VIII being there but has XIV always been there?

I think if it was non-steam game hubs that Valve would have said something by now.

Goddamn right, I would. Especially if they allow mod tools. Anybody whos played Halo Custom Edition on pc will tell you.
And Halo 3 by itself is still the best in the series IMO.

I would repurchase the entire trilogy on Steam.

Unless I am not looking at the right place, Halo 3 has been removed but Halo 1/2 are still there.

I haven't seen Halo 3 show up in that list, but when you search for it in groups the Game Hub shows up.

I will be a bit sad if the KOF games are only compatible on Windows 8 but from what I am guessing, Japanese developers might not be ready to optimize for the OS. Also KOFXIII Climax arcade runs on barebones version of XP so I have good hopes.

Halo 3 Group is still going strong. I'll never give up hope.

Why would the KOF games be Win8 exclusive?
Someone should be pestering SNK for a response a lot more.
They wouldn't, obviously. I'm not even sure Valve would be cool with anything being Win8 exclusive on their store.

They were okay with Just Cause 2, a Vista/Win 7-exclusive, being in their store. It's not quite the same extent, but there's a bit of precedence all the same.
I'd assume any DX10+ only game would be that way as well.
Sorry to bump this, but could this be related ?

I hate this gif.
Further support options, Ellis? You mean Steam, right? Am I right?
I'm right...I know I'm right.

Well ... that certainly is something. I think they said there was something like 12 concurrent users max playing Halo 2? They probably wouldnt make a change like this, and for such a short time, for no good reason and for such a tiny player base.

Yep, something is going on. I'm assuming they're going to release the game in some digital form, but maybe not on Steam.
Hopefully they release a huge patch for the game if they do, but it wouldn't surprise me if they leave it as it is.
I don't think it's ever going to happen, which is a huge shame. One can dream of Midtown Madness 4 for next gen.

Another game just appeared from the list: http://store.steampowered.com/app/224820/
Super House of Dead Ninjas

What does that mean ?
They extended support for Halo 2 multiplayer instead of shutting it down as planned.

I would throw a few bucks at a good number of Adult Swim's games with Steam features (and not in Flash). They have some great little games.

That, plus the way he worded it seems to hint (or leave it as a possibility) at some other solution in the long term.
Steamworks would be bonkers.

I love this thread. It's delivering ALL KINDS of win.
So you're involved with the game and got a big exposure boost because of this thread?

Just wondering, but would you know if any other Adult Swim published titles would be coming down the line?

I'm honestly more interested in Fast and the Furious 6 at this point. I'm holding out hope that it's a port of the Fast and the Furious Super Cars arcade game.
Fighting games on PC just seem like a real WTF? I don't think there is any market and besides they would be pretty awkward to play local multiplayer (which is at least the way I and many people I know mainly play fighters).
Still, cool to see SNK expanding their properties a bit more.

Capcom saw fit to release SSFIV:AE and SFxT after SFIV, so there's certainly profit to be made by porting fighting games.
Also you seem to understate the importance of online multiplayer.
