Warzone 2100 on Steam

Unless you are unfamiliar with the works of the great Gabe Newell, you will be aware of Steam's Greenlight service (http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/). For those out of the ken, Greenlight is a site where Steam users can vote to get the games they want to play on Steam, and they will end up on Steam. Many mods and small-time and indie games are seeping their way in, and seems perfect for a game like Warzone.
I have been playing Warzone occasionally for the past three or so years now, and I think it's incredible. The work that has been done to it since Warzone was released into the open domain is great (think enemy units not shooting my units through mountains any more, and gates and such, not to mention the maps), and it's a shame that it sits in one of the more obscure regions of the internet. It's still getting love from the devs, which is brilliant, but version fragmentation and lack of players makes multiplayer, which is really well designed and great fun, hard to get hold of an actual game on which is a shame.
If Warzone was to wind up on Steam, version fragmentation could be eliminated and the number of players will shoot right up, so there might be more than a peak of three games in the lobby. Steam is big. Installation on Steam is so easy it's ridiculous, and Warzone isn't a big game without the videos.
What I'm saying is, if Warzone was on Greenlight, it's getting my thumbs. If you're up to it.
2+2 always makes 5.
