Just like Valve currently operate with all their titles, Valve games are able to be updated and bolt on extra content as downloadable content ships. Many other games available on Steam that are not developed by Valve can ship updates easily but adding new content is more difficult. This update means that in-game DLC allows developers and publishers to use their own games as a platform for selling additional content to gamers.
DLC can now be added to any game on Steam, regardless of whether it was originally purchased via Steam, at retail, or via other digital outlets. It is also a feature of Steamworks, the suite of free tools and services available to game developers and publishers. The first game to take advantage of this new in-game DLC capability is The Maw, by Twisted Pixel Games, which now has two new expansions available.
