Hooray - You know, this the main reason why I've been checking OWF for the past couple of days despite not checking this place since the end of last year - I'd hoped to of found news about this. :P Timing is everything, huh?
Awesome news, thanks for sharing it with us - Glad OWI aren't being silent.
(And BTW - The Acheivements thing may make it worth me buying AO and AE on Steam even though I already own old PC CD ROM copies of both)
