They are remaking MI, gave telltale the MI license to play with, releasing some of their old games for a new market and most probably coming out with Ipod versions at some point (the CEO more or less announced it with a nod, nod wink wink comment).

It's good to see Lucasarts acknowledge their back catalogue and giving it some love.

It's a good start.
I'm definitely happy for the people that now finally have the chance to legally purchase and play these classic games, and yes, it's a good start. Let's hope something good comes out of this.

But I also completely agree with JohnGreenArt. They shouldn't have hyped it as "something new for the old fans," because that's exactly what it isn't. And though this deal with Steam isn't a bad thing per se, it has left some of the old fans, like myself and, I think, JohnGreenArt, somewhat disappointed after the anticipation of something "awesome." This isn't "awesome." It's a good deal, that's all.

Oh, and is there a specific thread to introduce oneself properly? Guess I should do that now, after this post.
