"Valve Complete Pack" added to library - "all games, past, present, and future"?

[NaN]

So did anyone else get an email from Valve saying that as a gift for being in the first round of hardware preorders, they have added the Valve Complete Pack to your library? This is nice, but some wording stuck out to me (bold added by me):

We've added the Valve Complete Pack to your Steam account as a gift from Valve. This will give you all of Valve's games (past, present and future) free of charge.

...does this really mean that we will get all future Valve games for free?? Cause unless they never figure out how to count to 3 and never release another game again, this sounds too good to be true.

Edit: I don't see it now but I saw someone on reddit saying that the gift being given to preorders who run OSX is indeed the friends and family pack that includes all of Valve's future releases. This honestly sounds too good to be true, so I still have my doubts.

Also, to anyone complaining that the early pre-orders are just "paying to be beta testers", remember that there is a 30 day no questions asked refund window. If you don't like it, just return it and they will even pay for shipping to send it back. If you are affected by the OSX issues, I think they have extended the window to 60 day refund period. So seriously, stop your whining. This has been a fantastic way of handling any soft-launch issues.

And funnily enough, I don't think any new games have been added to my account; I think I already own everything Valve has ever released... so lol for me.

For anyone asking, I think the criteria for getting this seem to be:

1) You need to have pre-ordered the steam controller OR steam link (I only pre-ordered the controller) from valve/steam directly
2) You need to have pre-ordered in the first wave of pre-orders (the ones who had a delivery date of October 16)
3) You need to have logged into steam on a mac at some point (this one is iffy, maybe you need to have logged into steam on a mac recently? I don't know, but PC only players don't seem to be getting this.)

Mac user that got my order on Oct 16th. I didn't get any email yet.

I can use the menus outside of game launching with the Steam Link but am unable to browse my library of games smoothly on Steam Link and get kicked out randomly. I didn't get a chance to sample gameplay view steam link.
Using Windows and wifi. My wifi signal is fantastic, but this just isn't really working out.
.... so mostly I just dabble with the Steam Controller, trying to find games than operate smoothly.

I know Steam has an awful lot of games on the catalogue, but it would be really useful to have official default settings available (yeah, maybe it'll be available more readily in November. As it is, I couldn't even play Half Life 2 with the Steam Controller. (note: the gameplay this refers to is directly off my monitor or television/hdmi direct connection.

I have yet to see the email. I've also created a support ticket with steam with no response in over 48 hours

Logged into a mac. No email or notification, but I suddenly have every valve game in my library. Guess it worked!

Does it show in your account/licenses section? As a retail customer I'm starting to get more annoyed at lack of any word about this.

[gnattress]

Same here - filed a support ticket and heard nothing back.

I didn't get the email, and I've never used a Mac in my life, but CS:GO appeared in my account this morning (the only Valve game I don't own). DOTA2 and Source Filmmaker have appeared too, even though they're free.
