Valve Adding Achievements to Back Catalog (?)

    So, today I opened up the community tab in steam to find something very odd, one of my friends had gotten achievements (somehow) for three games that were released before Valve had even thought of the Steam Community in the first place! Half-life 2: Episode One, Half-life 2, and Opposing force (though these are obviously placeholders). Is Valve dilligently working on adding achievements to these older games, and I was lucky enough to hit a glitch that allowed me to see them? Hopefully, we'll soon know (note, screenshot of the community page attached for those who may think I'm bullshitting)

There are achievements already in those games but are not active at all but using something call the SAM (Steam Achivment manager) you can unlock any achievements you want even those which are not active, basically your friend is a cheater.

He probably used it because he was hit by a bug that deleted all of his achievement progress (he had nearly every achievement and they suddenly vanished, happened to a few of my friends), but that explains it.
