Ah, there’s the hitch. The new bundles system is already live, and you can check it out by looking at the Valve Complete Pack. Usually $92.70, you may see a lower (and potentially much lower) price depending on how many Valve games you’ve picked up in the past.
But a memo obtained by PCGamesN indicates that developers and publishers will need to opt into this agreement. Via Valve:
A similar system has been in place on GOG.com for years now, though as far as I know it doesn’t require publishers to opt-in. Regardless of that one major caveat, it’s great news Valve’s finally hopped on and should make this year’s Steam Sales a lot more interesting for longtime users.
Hopefully developers embrace the new system on Steam as soon as it’s available (assuming it’s not already). We’ll keep you updated if we spot a large-scale roll-out anytime soon.
