Valve's Giving Away L4D2 As A Christmas Present

[AJSB]

Cool, my first Steam Linux game! It's been some time since I've gamed, but I'm going to have to give this a try.

Thank you d2kx and Michael.

1st one ?!?

What you are waiting to get DOTA2 and Team Fortress 2 ?!?

They are also F2P for a long long time



Thx Valve and Michael...excelent Xmas gift



BTW; if we have Net traffic limits and are reaching limit for this period, fear not, we don't need actually to download it today.

Just hit button in Store to get L4D2 for free...the actual download won't start right away and you can install it later

Well it was nice from Steam. Only that their servers couldnt handle the load.
I was about to buy Day of Defeat and for a few hours wasnt able to complete the transaction because the connection timed out. Eventually i was able to get both DoD and L4D2. They should have planned for this more thoroughly. Letting your whole store go down in Christmas because of freeloaders is bad for business.

I had just seen, gotten, and posted this to facebook a little while ago. lol

Edit: fwiw, I'm downloading at 2M/s, so it must be a small hammer.
