  No, Steam didn’t have their own hardware back then afaik, but it introduced Portal alongside new installments of two extremely popular existing franchises. That’s why I said it was similar instead of the same thing.

    Team Fortress was not an “extremely popular existing franchise” even among dedicated PC gamers. What the Orange Box did was let Valve experiment with marketing materials like the teaser videos for Portal and “Meet the Heavy.”

      man… I really wish valve would go back and make new Meet The videos… or just TF2 videos in general. The first ones, like Heavy, got so ripped off compared to later ones like the Pyros
