Thanks OP!

How is this regional?

Sweet, thanks!

Valve getting the hype machine going with the Mac release of Steam. Smart marketing. I'll grab it for the PC though, the price is right. I still never got around to passing it even though I have the Orange Box on Xbox 360.

Some of us (including myself) only check this board on CAG.

Thanks OP.

If I downloaded Portal, can I still continue to play it after the 24th or does Steam force it to automatically uninstall since I didn't "buy" the game?

 

[poiuiu]

So bought! (harhar) And for Mac.

Signed.

After I got my citizenship, I never bothered going to any other board here. Hell, my bookmark links directly to the main Canada page!

Seconded. I personally appreciate any regional reposts because I only visit the Canada forum as well.

If the pre-order bonus Cake isn't included, don't expect much business.

You'll still have it. It's yours. No one can take it away from you. Even if you get a new computer, or yours crashes or whatever, you can still re-download it since it would be in your history. I think.

For certain, it won't auto-uninstall or ask you for money.

I'd take full advantage of this... if I didn't already own Orange Box for PC AND 360, lol.

 

[penetratingpincer]

Ok. Great, thanks for the info! This is the first free game that I'm getting off Steam so I want to be a little cautious about it.

Definitely yours forever as long as you register it to your Steam account before the 24th.

Your copy of Portal will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that your copy of Portal does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice.

pushing this back up in case anybody forgot or was just too lazy. This is an awesome game....

 

[Clark.Griswold]

I haven't installed it yet, but added it to my Steam account anyway. Hard to pass up for the price and quality.

BUMP!

Don't know why this topic got moved, but this offer is available in other countries. Anyway...

Today is the last day. Get it while you can.

Topic didn't get moved. This is just the Canadian version of the topic.

Oh, I guess the topic I'm looking for dropped a good 2 or 3 pages.

Anyway... The game is no longer free.
