- ax0n 16y agoThe "Free" part will work for me. Although I dual boot my Mac with Windows 7, and I've always wanted to try Portal, I never really got into it. That will change when I get home.

With the press coverage and meme-ification it got, there are probably very very few people left who would be willing to buy it, and have not because they haven't heard of it yet. Thus, by giving it away free to people who wouldn't have bought it anyway, no money lost.
