The Steam Review

Some late news today: it seems that Steam’s new UI is being extended to packages, too. Late last month Doug Valentine quietly revealed that the current Half-Life 2 packages are to be changed shortly – though what too, not even he knows.

“The package offers offered on Steam are Scheduled to change shortly. There will *NOT* be upgrades to / from specific previously owned packages. There will be a way to fill out the games you don't currently own by buying them individually. The pricing has not been announced yet…[and] I do not have any details at this point (that means don't PM me to beg for info ;-)).”

Being able to purchase games individually (without each one requiring its own package, we can assume) is undoubtedly related to the new Browse Games structure and ties in neatly with the goal of getting Steam ready to handle a larger library.
