There is a massive client upgrade in the works.

I'll believe that when I see it. Half-Life 2: Episode 3 was also in the works.

Are you able to add any further info to this? I assume you know about this courtesy of your position in the developer community, but do you know what's being upgraded, when it's expected to hit, or can you point us at a press release / etc?

Not sure what the parent is referring to, but Steam Direct [1] is the most recent change to the Store. Before that there was the Discovery Update [2] released at the end of last year.

It was leaked: https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-universal-new-client-leak

IIRC, they were asked about it in this interview and confirmed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atwE-K8y-ws

Might not be that exact video but I recall it being in one of the ones VNN did.
