Huh? I wanted to see whether Portal 1 and 2 are free as well to recommend them to family and friends but for the life of me I can't figure it out. They don't show any info on purchasing them whether I'm logged in or not.
It says they're at full price to me; it's the HL2 anniversary, after all. The Orange Box as a whole is 90% off though.
It's a better deal to just get the Orange Box bundle because it is 90% off.
Plus, you still get the Proof of Purchase in TF2!
Both are still showing up full price for me, if that helps.
Same, no sale
When I look at the steam store Portal has a price tag of $9.99.
Portal didn't come out until 2007 with the orange box, which also had hl2: episode 2 (and tf2), but the base game of hl2 came out standalone in 2004. This giveaway is a celebration of hl2's 20th anniversary, so maybe they'll do a portal giveaway in 2027.
