You know how when you start steam you sometimes get a fairly big popup with several ads for recently released games, particularly DLC/whatever for games you already own in steam?

Anyone with AIW seen one like that for Ancient Shadows?  I haven't (even with getting another crop of the popups this morning due to a steam-client-update), but it might be filtering it out for me since I already "own" a copy of the expansion on steam.

I don't own it on steam and I haven't seen one. Will check when I get back home.

Just intentionally triggered the popup and did not get it.

Pop-up just triggered by steam update for me and no info about new DLC for AIW.
I have AIW with all previous DLC's on Steam. AS outside Steam only for now.

Haven't received any mention of it myself.

Though I constantly receive updates about many bad games ;p

I have not gotten the "Content available for your game" popup for AS. I have not registered my key through Steam.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Ok, thanks everyone for the responses.  I didn't specifically have evidence that it had been done on steam's end, I'm just kind of surprised it wasn't.  It's not like it's competing with other games for front page space there, etc.  But perhaps they're waiting until they can get the new trailer up.

Or till it's off special maybe? Dunno Steam's system on those kinds of things, but I could see them wanting to wait to "announce it" till they and y'all can get more money / sale.
