I've never played anything Valve, so I didn't know that was an episode for 19.99$. By how long they took to make it I just assumed it had to be a full-length one.

For the record though, valve previously gave portal away for free (and probably still do unless you've got an Intel graphics card), currently give Team Fortress 2 away for free, claim to be giving away DOTA2 for free, and, I suspect, will give L4D away for free for too (as its the linux lauch title, and not super new). When steam comes to linux (and the games get ported) theres almost no excuse for not trying them unless you really hate first person games (which dota2 isnt). They're all relativly modern, and 90%+ games.
