Valve has something up their sleeve that is set to bridge the gap between the first Portal and Portal 2:

Valve will probably release something for free. Because it will probably be something very small. That's one thing.

And the other: Valve DESPERATE for sales? Are you serious? With Portal 2 sales going through the roof on Steam, Valve having so much money and so much freedom they could probably just prototype stuff and not release anything for years? You must be joking.

when you are starved for HL2 content, any little tidbit will suffice.

Putting their title in the list means jack shit. do you see sales figures with that listing? units sold? no. I am talking record sales, huge profits. This list for the most part is nothing but another tactic to grab more sales.

Do sales figures really matter when we are talking about Steam's top ten for God's sake? This is not a yellow kiosk man. It's STEAM!

They are already in the top ten and the game is not even released yet.

Do you really think they would LIE, when they are first and foremost, a digital download platform? Their clients are more important than their own games you know! They are good traders, otherwise they wouldn't have gone so far.

You're talking to Tom about a PC centric game and company.

Of course he hates it.

Anti-PC troll is an anti-PC troll. Move along, nothing to see here.
