To celebrate the arrival of the anticipated Dawn of War 2 "There Is Only War" update, Steam has launched a 50% off sale on Relic titles.

All Dawn of War games will be 50% off on Steam this weekend, including Dawn of War 2, which knocks the great RTS title down to $25.

Company of Heroes games are also benefiting from the sale, with Company of Heroes Gold and the recent Tales of Valor expansion both set to $15.

I'm curious, I've never really played with STEAM yet, but are all your purchases of games good for as long as Steam is around? For instance say 4 years down the road you decide to load your STEAM account on a new computer. Are you able to redownload the games you bought 4 years ago?

The reason I ask is what happends if STEAM removes the games from their library? Could that eventually happened? One of the worries I have with digital distribution is the longevity of the service and the ability to lose a game via them not having it on their systems anymore...

If anyone front pagers pick this us, feel free to come hang out with the chatty shackers! We play pretty regularly and anyone can get the ball rolling by posting in Latest Chatty.

Playing with Shackers is like 10x better than playing with pubbies.

I used to eat these sales up, but no more Steam purchases for me... Had my account hijacked (no, i didn't fall for a phishing scam) and I realized how crappy it was not to be able to play my games until their horrible support finally gave me my account back.

Last week, I was lamenting the fact that Direct2Drive had DoW2 for $25 and not Steam since I like having my digital games all in one convenient place. I lamented so hard, I broke their shopping cart system and couldn't purchase it from them! After a few tries, I gave up and said "oh well, maybe it'll be on Steam some day".

Thanks for not wanting my money, D2D!

Interesting. On the Dawn of War 2 Steam page down the bottom there is a link to the full soundtrack (no cost, regardless whether you own the game or not).

I would have thought they would publicise this more, I'm sure there would be some cool tunes in there.

Any word on why the Company of Heroes Complete Pack is MIA?

It did show up as on sale for $20 but the link went nowhere and now it's totally gone.

  I noticed that. I don't think it was intended to be part of the sale. : Nick Breckon
  - Yeah, now it's just gone. It was probably TOO good of a deal or something compared to everything else. :( : xsoulbrothax
- I'd have bought that, just out of convenience. Even though I already own CoH. : Pneum0
