We're going to talk about the change of our pricing policy, for most of the free games we're servicing.
We have been servicing a lot of free games by offering main game for free, with an $1 empty DLC for donations; so the users who are satisfied by the game are able to support us and the developers by purchasing the DLC, which also makes the game stay in your Steam library.
However, some of the players told us that the game won't stay in their library even after purchasing the DLC, so they had to visit the store page to install it again. Thus we're going to make some changes to solve this problem and give some advantages to the purchasers.

Steam Edition
Free games will be switched to Steam Edition, which will cost about $1. If you already purchased the Donationware DLC, you will automatically receive the Steam Edition of the game.
Also, games that support a leaderboard will also start to support Steam Leaderboard, so you can upload your score at both of them. Steam Cloud and Steam Achievements will be the same as before. We're planning to update the games that are not supporting these features, so please allow us some time.
And maybe we might add Steam Trading Cards, too!
New Free Version
An alternative free version will be added on Steam to compensate former version. Download button will be displayed on the store page, along with the purchase button for the Steam Edition. This new free version won't support any Steamworks features such as Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud and Steam Leaderboard, etc.
Achievements that you already unlocked won't go away, but you won't be able to unlock new ones. Your score will only be uploaded on the default leaderboard.
Donationware DLC
These DLCs will be gone from the store. As we mentioned, holder of these DLCs will automatically receive the Steam Edition game.

These changes will be applied within a day or two, to the games listed below. Please leave your comments if you have any questions!
