Steam – What coming up next? Mafia II – Civ V – Fallout New Vegas
![steam_deals[1]](http://steamunpowered.eu/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/steam_deals11.gif "steam_deals[1]")
What’s coming up next on Steam? What are the next big games featuring Steamworks DRM? I’m here to tell you.
Borderlands – new DLC on the way?
Borderlands recently got an update which added Steam achievements and new hardware support. That update also may have laid out, in extreme, spoiler-filled detail, the next downloadable expansion for Borderlands.
The new Borderlands patch featured a folder with details about the future of the game. The next expansion appears to be heavy on Claptraps – the small, funny robots in-game. It turns out that you may be fighting them and cybernetic zombies in the game’s next add-on.
Gearbox forum members found details about the next DLC in the patch files, such as: "Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap" that leads a robot revolution against the Vault hunters. Your task in the next DLC pack is to take down those Claptraps and the re-animated human-Claptrap hybrids. Skag claptraps, Rakk claptraps, Psycho Midget claptraps and dozens of variations on the Claptrap, only way more evil, will be your enemies in the expansion, according to those update files. The DLC appears to span some 21 missions—"9 Main Missions, 12 Side Missions"—and will see plenty of familiar faces return.
If you want to know more spoilers simply visit Gearbox forums and read it. Gearbox didn’t officially confirm the DLC yet.
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers
(click on the picture to see the deal) Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers is coming this month to Steam and will include the usual Steamworks features like achievements, leaderboards and matchmaking. The game was previously released on XboX 360 last year. The PC version will include the expansion pack for free. 
Some may already heard of Magic: The Gathering, for you who have not: Magic – The Gathering was originally a very popular fantasy trading card game from the nineties. Players bought a starter kit from which they strategically build a deck of cards and then compete against other players deck’s. Players could choose to expand their pool of cards by buying expansion packs for money. This could make it a rather expensive hobby. However it commercial success lead to several computer games over the years.
Later Wizards of the Coast (publisher) released an Internet based version of the game called Magic Online which is a exact digital version of Magic including the pricing.
Magic: The Gathering – Duels of the Planeswalkers focus more on casual players that want experience Magic without the troubles to buy expansions pack for good money and build decks from the scratch. It offers premade decks that can be customize to a limited extent. A Co-Op campaign and ranked/unranked online play.

Online Retailers Refusing To Sell Modern Warfare 2
Kotaku just posted that Direct2Drive won’t be selling Modern Warfare 2 on their PC digital delivery service. Why? Because of rival platform – Steam.
The game includes mandatory installation of Valve’s Steamworks, which the game uses for stuff like installation, DRM and save-game management. Something Direct2Drive (which is owned by website IGN) are having none of, telling:
We don’t believe games should force the user to install a Trojan Horse.
That “Trojan Horse” being the inclusion of Steam’s commercial marketplace.
D2D also told Kotaku that, having evaluated some Steamworks titles earlier in the year (such as Empire: Total War and Dawn of War II) and finding the forced inclusion of Steam’s storefront (offering automatic competition to D2D’s own services) not to their liking, told publishers that they’d stop selling games bundled in such a manner until Valve “decoupled its retail marketplace” from Steam’s other services.
To be clear, D2D’s beef is not with Activision, it’s with Steam, and to prove there’s no bad blood between the retailer and mega-publisher, $5 coupons will soon be offered on select Activision titles to make up for it.
But that’s not all it seems Impulse have come out today and also confirmed they won’t be stocking the game, for the same reasons. Digital store Gamersgate have told Kotaku that, like D2D and Impulse, they will also not be stocking Modern Warfare 2, and again, for the same reason.
Is this the failure of Modern Warfare 2 for PC? We’ll see. Oh and by the way vote in our poll:
