    Okay, granted, some of those are expansion packs, some are DLC for existing games, and some are bundles of games that can all be bought individually on Steam as well. So technically, there aren't over a thousand individual *games* yet, but let's just forget about technicalities for a second and pretend that little grey number at the top left of the list is all that matters. :P 
     
    EDIT - If you live somewhere outside the US, you might see less than 1000 listed, unfortunately.

    Yeah, I was kind of hoping for that as well, but no biggy - Steam Christmas sales are coming up within a few weeks.

    Sure, but Steam is always having sales on some games at any given point in time, so that's really nothing too special.

    @ThatFrood: Yes, but those are coincidentally on sale for the season and not for the occasion. I DEMAND EVEN MORE CHEAP GAMES! :P

    I must admit I am a bit curious what different games will go on sale in 8 hours. I have a feeling I'm going to buy another six games I'll never end up playing more than a couple hours of. I still have that fat stack of $5 D2D downloads to go through.

    No, it's not.  In the Christmas sale, every single digital item on Steam is actually required to be at least 10% off, meaning not a single thing you can buy on Steam doesn't have a deal on it during the sale.  Thus, when every game has a deal on it, you know the official Christmas sale has begun.

    I just hope with all this Steam popularity that they don't ruin it somehow. It always seems that when a company does really well these days, the sell out or make their service worse somehow. 
     
    At the moment though, Steam is one of the best services I have ever used, other than Doctors.

    That's pretty awesome, I remember buying every game they had with the Half Life 2 Silver pack, back in the day. That was in 2005. They even gave me Day of Defeat: Source for free when that came out. The Silver Pack was pretty much the Orange Box of 2005.

    6.4 for me so far, hoping to change that with the THQ pack.

    I actually think that's small compared to what I thought Steam would have.

    I personally think Steam will remain as it is as long as Gabe Newell is at the head.  I think the day that he either passes away (however long from now that would be) or is no longer the sole person in control of everything, Steam and everything that Valve does will decline in quality slowly but surely.

    Yeah, sorry, I forgot to note when I first posted that some countries don't have all the games on Steam available.  It shows as 1003 for me here in the US.
