Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story.
Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.
"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."
Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.
"Capitol news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."
You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging - which is you ever-so-slightly moving your index finger just barely enough to click the big red "download" button right there to the left.
Probably getting slammed lol. It loaded once for me.
i had to reinstall steam and after 2 updates its not starting.
Already own it.
Good for the people who don't though.

This is probably the closest we'll get to world peace. There's no reason for anyone not to download it and experience one of the greatest games of all time.
If starcraft 2 was free, North Korea wouldn't be threatening to nuke shit every once in a while.mtb0minime wrote:

Downloading now. Had to change my download location to Germany. North American servers were too busy
Fuck, my FB is being spammed by noobs who are creating Steam accounts and DLing Portal.
I'm getting pissed, they're asking me for my steam ID. Like I care, they don't have any MP games.

I'm tired of MW2, and this will tie me over till RDR next Tuesday

Just to clarify, BurtonJ, a Valve employee, said on the Steam Forums that there is no timer or anything attached to this. Download it now and its on your Steam account forever.

I expect karma from all of you, that is all.
If anybody has TF2 installed, or in fact any other Source game, the download will be far far smaller than someone who is installing Steam for the first time.
Just so you know why there are variations.
