Take it from me. Stop eating candy, and start playing thief.
Your body and mind will thank you some day.

Because it's a really old title that gains little from having Steam DRM (or any DRM at all, really) added on top of it. Square-Enix could easily supply other stores such as GamersGate, Green Man Gaming and the rest with copies that don't have to come with Steam keys.
That's what I think is weird.

Very good deal, but... how does the Steam version of these older Thief games fare on newer machines/systems? It's the only thing that keeps me from buying it, even at such low price.

Actually, they worked just fine without any fixes for me, on Win7.
But I still recommend the taffer patches, just in case.

Promo + code + credit = free gaem. No excuse to not get it. :p
Now I will have no choice but to buy the first one too if a similar deal strikes. D:

Actually, I think you should hold off playing The Metal Age until you've played the first one. Not only because the story is best experienced in chonological order, but also bebause the sequel is generally considered to be the better game, and playing the games in the wrong order will definitely affect your time with the first Thief negatively.
It's just that, this is one of the best gaming series ever imo, and any old thief fan like me owe it to the newbies to make their first contact with the series the best way possible :)

I'll echo yupignome. I've only played (and really enjoyed) DS, but everyone who followed the series from the start seems to think that it's by far the worst game in the series in all non-technical aspects. I take that as a good sign for the quality of the first two games.

It's quite old, of course, but it is also a really good game. Go get it.
