I'm making a note here: Huge success.

portal

Portal is free on Steam, get yours before September 20.

It's still the same game from '07, but with Achievements, and a new ending. Oh, and a Mac version too.

How much is this "Steam" of which you speak?

100% FREE.

Against my better judgement, I set up a Steam account. Portal is $20 for Mac. Fail.

When you look up Portal in the store, it is indeed listed for $20.

However if you click thru, there's no price.

Ok, dowloaded Portal for free (despite that being really unclear) but WTF is up with having to launch Steam every time I play?? This thing is a Virus! I find it hard to believe that you guys who moan about the big brother tactics of Apple and Microsoft have no issue with this. I just want to play the freaking game. I don't want Valve knowing my every move.

This is serious suckage.

as opposed to Microsoft, where you have to run the Xbox Dashboard in the background at all times to play games?

Like the Xbox, Steam keeps track of stats, groups, etc. "just playing" the game doesn't happen anymore.

But I bought a console for that purpose. I don't need viruses on my computer.

having to run a program....

At least we know what you resort to when you have no adequate comeback.

He asked how much "Steam" was. And it is free.
