Unser "Gott" Valve hat am Freitag (26.09.2008) verlauten lassen, dass es diese Woche kostenlose MODs geben soll, die man unter "Meine Spiele" angezeigt bekommt und damit auch spielen kann. Darunter auch die MODs Age of Chivalry, D.I.P.R.I.P., Insurgency, Synergy und Zombie Panic.

Hier die offizielle Meldung:

As a part of our continuing efforts to support the MOD community, we will begin hosting selected MODs directly on Steam starting next week. The first five MODs to ship on steam will be Age of Chivalry, D.I.P.R.I.P., Insurgency, Synergy, and Zombie Panic. As always, owners of any Source game will be able to download and play all of these MODs for free.

Once installed, these MODs will appear in your "My Games" list and will receive automatic updates just like other games on Steam. Also, these MODs now take advantage of Steamworks, which provides stat tracking and tighter integration with the Steam community.

We're excited to see MOD developers get wider recognition for the hard work they have done, and we hope to support more MOD teams in the future. Watch for the official release next week!

Bin ich mal gespannt, als alter Spiele-Süchtling

Wie es in den Wald hinein schalt so schalt es auch hinaus

Jeder ist sein eigen Glückes Schmied

Naja - vielleicht helfen die MODs, die Wartezeit zu verkürzen
