    Default Free Portal Via Steam

    Hello!

    Steam is offering Portal, for free, to any Steam account holder and/or new signups to celebrate Steam being available on Macs, until May 24th.

    Just sayin'.

    Downloaded it some time ago, but won't I be able to play again after the 24th even if it is already installed on the computer?

    Thats how free period (normally free weekends) work. The game just gets deleted or something.

    Actually may not be.

    Might just be forever, as long as you got it before...today in my timezone.

    I believe that to be the case as well.
