I test the source mod Dystopia and i get to see how much time the developers put into creating and perfecting the mod. All the source mods deserve to have steamworks it puts them on a level footing and makes that easier for them to be download and updated.

Sure, maybe it's not your thing, but there's been an awful lot of love, sweat and tears from a large number of devs that's resulted in the production of said mod. However, the fact that there's sign of further mods being added to steamworks is awesome, allowing the average lazy gamer like me to access a number of good games that I otherwise wouldn't. Nice.

I'm even more happy to see Fortress Forever mentioned as it's a very fun mod to play, similar to TFC, but is more fast paced as well as polished. Certainly a great alternative to TF2 for those who dislike the direction it branched to from TFC. The development team for Fortress Forever have made some incredible improvements since it's original release, and from what I hear, FF's future can only get better.

A mod that I would love to see some coverage of on RPS; I am willing to pay for all members of the RPS teams to have supporters status and to take part in the private supporter testing that is happening on Dystopia mod now. Just e-mail me and I’ll make it happen! The hidden source is also an old mod that is pretty polished and I am surprised is not on the list. I wonder on what basis they chose the mods since some of the mods having only one or two servers with very few people playing. I hope they do extend the offer to other mods.

They have some of the most modded games around, but the (sometimes woefully outdated) description and link to mod website mods have been receiving is inadequate. Especially when they *look* like they've gotten the full Steam treatment, even though they haven't. About time.

CTF, Counter-Strike, TeamFortress are mods. Why this hate to modders you make then wait.. how much? 3 years? to be able to get some hosting on autoinstalling features on Valve? I have no idea why you don't have provide a standard or something, maybe something like the .umod capability of Unreal, to make installing mods in Steam a single click task. Is beyond me. I see you provide a gazillion tools, and enormeous support, so.. why no hosting? do you want lots of people making mods but no one downloading these mods? WHY SOO LATE!? Why so late Valve?
