If Halo is not on Steam by the middle of 2014, I will be very shocked. Not only the database entries in Steam itself but it's also got an entry in the latest AMD drivers too.
There's speculation that MS might leverage Steam for some rudimentary backwards compatibility as the next XBox will be x86 and based on DirectX. There's nothing in the hardware that would make it difficult, but I'd be shocked if MS didn't use their own platform for that rather than Steam.
But if they're porting the greatest hits of the 360 to x86 for BC purposes, it would make sense to get some extra cash on another platform that isn't a threat to their business too.
