As a gesture of goodwill gabe should give out a free game or credit
steam needs better security.
Steam giving out a free game = Steam giving out free Skyrim almost on release.
In other words, it won't happen.
Portal 1 has been free twice now. Team Fortress 2 went free to play. Owners of the original Half-Life who register the key on Steam receive Blue Shift, Opposing Force, Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, Deathmatch Classic, Ricochet and Day of Defeat. Not to mention the constant content updates and engine upgrades for a bunch of Valve's games. Oh yeah Valve don't give us shit!
Anyhoo I heard through the grapevine that if shit got real they are going to start giving out copies of Portal 2 and beta access to DOTA 2.
