    You already posted this in the "Can my card place this" thread, and there is already a 3+ page thread about this.

    I didn't know about the 3+ page about this and i didn't post it in "Can my card place this", I put one in NBR's steam gaming community, but i highly doubted that many people would be interested enough about that thread to see a free game at hand.

    Ok, sorry, guess I was reading too many threads at once. But yes, people have heard about this. Lost Coast and Deathmatch have been free for a while for people who have HL2. Don't know about the others.
