I have just sent off an email to Eidos, asking them if they have any plans on releasing the classic Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver games on Steam.
If id can get away with re-releasing Wolfenstein 3D and Doom and Quake, then Eidos could do the same with some classic titles in their own library. All for a budget price of course.
The email is as follows:
Hi,
Just writing to you as it's something I've been curious about for a while. I'm wondering if Eidos has any plans to release the classic (Core developed) Tomb Raider games, or the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver series on Steam.
I'd really like to have every game from each series available in one place without the need for fiddling around with backwards compatibility.
If you could have packages available (All classic Tomb Raider games in one pack, the Soul Reaver series and Legacy of Kain in another) I would snap them up in a second, and I know I'm not the only one.
Are there any plans to release these games over Steam and if not, why not?
Thanks for your time.

P.S. Would it help if I started an online petition? :P
I'll update if there's any reply. I'm not holding my breath though, Activision never replied to me after my nasty letter.
but... I could download it for free :p
I hope the key word is "upcoming" but I fear it was simply a cut and paste response. It smacked of copypasta. I wish they would give actual answers sometimes.
