    Oh, it's on Steam?

    Just checked, and it has the SteamPlay logo. Grabbed it -- for the Number!

    (Note that not having the SteamPlay logo doesn't mean it won't run with
    proton -- just gives that peace-of-mind that they actually _tested_
    it. :) )

    I can't get it for free on Steam either... 'cause I already have it
    there too. I always seem to miss out on these offers ;-)

    (Of course, the reason I have it on Steam already is because I got it
    as a free upgrade to the original Metro 2033, so I guess I shouldn't
    complain /too/ loudly. Still, there's a part of me childish enough
    that thinks that if little Timmy is getting something for free, I
    should get something too. ;-)
