Honestly I haven't played a steam game in so long because of WoW. But I don't see the harm in it. They know there are other competitors out there and they want to create brand loyalty.
Personally, except for Blizzard games I will not buy a PC game if it isn't on Steam. |

| Just looking over the website it looks like a Diablo Clone but instead of Warrior, Mage, Archer you chose one of the Marvel Superheroes like Spiderman, Thing or Deadbolt. |

I personally use a lemon or apple. Fill a beer/soda can 1/4 of beer and then stick the whole chicken on top of a Beer Can Chicken Holder. You keep the temp at 350 for 90 minutes. All the fat will drip off but the moisture stays in. If you keep a pan underneath the chicken there is no mess. Wow! ME TOO! That chicken is the best. Always moist and juicy even as cold leftovers. That's an ATK recipe too and one of my favorites. I used a big ol' can of Bud the first time I did it but it was too hard to take it in and out of the oven without it tipping over so when I saw one of those vertical roasters at a thrift store for 5 dollars I went and got it. The ATK recipe has a maple-molasses-mustard glaze. I'll try cramming a potato up there next time I make it. I do it on the grill outside, as it CAN be dangerous to do in the house. There are numerous writeups about people badly burning themselves and or starting a fire in the house....I know I know....just sayin. I usually do it on the grill, I was talking about the thermometer on the grill. I still place the chicken on a pan so I don't have to worry about cleanup. |

If it's not hemmoraghing customers on a massive scale now it will be soon with SWTOR, GW2, Titan, etc. At this point there's little keeping anyone around WoW except for the social aspect of it, and for the serious raiders and pvpers - a minority.
I am hoping that Blizzard will have a one price for all of their MMOs. You have to buy the client but after that you can play both games for the same monthly fee. |

However, it's all entirely ignorable so to hell with it, the game's pretty good so far. It was never going to be as good as Portal because Portal came out of nowhere.
Question (spoiler): I haven't finished it yet so maybe this is explained, but how come the protagonist is back in Aperture's labs? I assumed I was a completely different character until GlaDOS recognised me. As someone said above read the comic also Valve updated Portal 1 with a patch where Chell was dragged back to Aperture Science after beating GLaDOS. |

I think it is either a hidden room like the "Lost" room in Episode 2 or maybe a hidden level.
Isn't Portal 2 supposed to take place 100's of years after Portal 1? |

Quoting the article "If your character is killed in the game...their descendent has the ability to pick up where your character left off."
It seems like it is like how any other MMOG handles death except that your character gets a new game. Could be interesting. |

I got the number of employees from Wikipedia and it doesn't separate the Steam employees from the rest of Valve. My weird statistic was just to point out that even tho the revenue from Steam is not as much as Gamestop but it is much more profitable.
Both Gamestop and Steam sells games. Gamestop requires 6000 stores to do it while Steam requires a website. |

I think it is a fair comparison because they are both in game selling business. Each Gamestop employee generates $184,000 in revenue while each Valve employee generates $4,000,000. Gamestop has to work a lot harder and a lot higher costs to generate the income than Valve does.
Besides, All Gamestop does is sell games and hardware. One you are out of the store Gamestop does nothing for you. When you buy a steam game you got a lot of value like automatic updates and multiplayer game matching.
Yes, I know servers and bandwidth cost money but I am sure it is a lot easier and cheaper to work with that than working with store full of teenagers. |

Compare these numbers to Gamestop which I consider caters primarily to the console crowd.
According to Wikipedia Gamestop generated $9 Billion in revenue out of 6606 stores world wide (corp website)and 49,500 employees (Wikipedia). Valve only has 250 employees (Wikipedia).
Yes Gamestop has revenue over 9x greater than Steam but the overhead is much greater also.
These numbers make me confidant that Steam is going to be around for a while even if Valve the game company goes away.

| I looked at the Steam's December Hardware Survey and 69.78% of users are running the 32or 64 bit version Vista or Windows 7. I am sure by the time the game will come out it will be in the high 70%. |
