Epic Joins Steam, Unreal Games Now Available
by Chris Faylor, Mar 17, 2008 12:51pm PDTUnreal creator Epic Games today joined the ever-growing ranks of game studios that sell their products through Valve's PC digital distribution platform Steam.
Epic's initial offerings constitute five titles: Unreal Gold, Unreal II: The Awakening, Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year Edition, Unreal Tournament 2004: Editor's Choice Edition, and Unreal Tournament 3.
Each title will be sold for 10% off until March 24. An Unreal Deal Pack is also available, containing the five titles for $59.95--a savings of over $46. The discount applies to the Unreal Deal pack as well, making it $53.95 until March 24.
"Epic is a leading developer of game engine technology and has produced some of my favorite games of all time," said Valve president Gabe Newell. "It's an honor to be working with them and offering their current and classic titles to the millions of Steam gamers around the world."

This trend could do a lot for the PC as a platform..
.. On the other hand, I was enjoying the PC world being quiet, letting innovative little gems take some of the attention they deserve.
Anyone else addicted to Dwarf Fortress? =)

Too bad I already bought the Unreal Anthology on CD. Have no plans to play UT3 at all. It was just nice to add UT 2 & U2 to my games archive to play if I wanted. Right now I can't get that Digital Extremes Pariah game to load up at all. Keeps giving me an error message no matter what I try. :/
(Yeah, I'll still just buy them individually, 'cuz they're cheap, but a few bucks off isn't too much to ask, is it?)

What's the price of just UT3? I have all those games already.

This is pretty awesome though, hopefully the remaining companies jump on the Steam bandwagon soon.
