Steam recognizing DayZ

[navx2810 17]

If you go to Arma 2 OA's store page it has a note

Day Z Mod requires Arma II: Combined Operations which is made up of Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead

The fact Valve wrote this in surprises me. I've never seen them do this for another mod. Think that with this raise of hype and coverage on other sites (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/06/dayz-surpasses-1000000-users). I wonder how long it'll take for a publisher to contact Rocket and his team for some kind of funding negotiation to make this a stand-alone game. Will Bohemia ask them too?

I personally have seen them do it for two other mods, wait... no 1 other mod, the lord of the rings mod for total war, no stike that, they did it for Rome Total Realism also, a mod for Rome Total War. Its obviously not very common, and it does speak to the popularity of the mod(s).
