How the gak did you get it for free? I had to pay 10 bucks for it.

It's free to play now.

^ This guy gets it.

Is it free on the xbox as well? Or is it only a steam thing?

Only steam, the xbox can only get it through the Orange Box as far as I know.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of steam either. I had that same experience of having to install it with Empire: Total War and then uninstalling everything a week later in disgust.

The sales are nice, sure, but it's entirely possible to do cheap digital distribution without an overly intrusive program.
