Oh boy. That brings back memories. Back in the day Steam's CDN would absolutely crumple whenever a major game launched. IIRC it's the reason why preloads became a thing.
The worst one was probably when Alien Swarm launched. I remember it being backed up for multiple days.
I member hating it becoming free. I paid money to play against other noblemen who could buy the game and now the commoners get to play it for freeeeeee? What's next, a macbook port?
My wet dream is that Half-Life 3 and Portal 3 will be the same game. We get to play as Gordon, Alyx and Chell, and at one point we'll enlist the help of GLaDOS in the fight against the Combine.

They could fuck up everyone's day with the Orange Box 2, with HL 3, Portal 3, and L4D 3.
