Wow, just wow, Valve now i know why people likes you so much.

Edit: Even official Valves web site is down.

Dammit, quit breaking the steam store so that I can buy stuff. >:I

Now the part about having to get it before 10 AM tomorrow is biting.. If you don't have a fast DL speed don't bother you might end up just wasting bandwidth.

just that...

Restitution for what? is like cars, you bought a new car by 30.000, three years latter the same car will cost 10.000...

Also thanks to the direct steam install link I could get the game by 2G :D (I'll not download it now for obvious reasons...)

I thought it was just the usual free stuff for a few days they do to some games. Guess it'll sit in my library for a while.

Among these posts full of love for Valve I would like to mention how a friend of mine got his account locked for unknown reasons and how the Steam Support refused to give an explanation and locked both his Steam and Steam Support Account as answer.
When $4,349.01 mean nothing.

Gotta grab it right now!

Left 4 Dead 2 is free? Oh boy, good thing I already have it bought.

[Cruduxy]

Couldn't resist reading the announcement comments because I kinda knew what I'll find there.. Someone complaining he paid 10$ for it 2 years ago is just speechless about :P

They just put it on for 1 day in the news section probably only 5% or less bother to open and read -It appeared in the update on opening steam but most of the time I just close that-.. Now if valve deicdes the game must've been ran at least once... all those mad ppl who started it and ended like 60-95% before the time limit.

Edit : Game transactions seem to register a purchase of the game if you even hit install game.. download at any pace you like :)
