When asked about the $20 price point he didn't really give a great answer. He didn't say it would cost more but he didn't say it would be $20. Oh well. I'll pay it.

Anyway, Not lot of new info in the Q&A but I did enjoy reading it. The thought a Portal SDK makes me tingle inside.

Keep posting these. I can't get enough of them

  I'd consider all three games for $40 a bargain.

    I'd pay $50. I can see myself spending 10 hours on Portal and EP3, then a ton of hours on TF2 if it rocks.

  Think of it like this tfc 29.99, hl2 ep2 19.99, portals 9.99
  49.99!

  In some of the post-TF2 announcement interviews they did actually mention it wouldn't be $20, but were unsure at what price they would stick at.

  yeah I would pay the $20-$40 for sure. I figure the story/gameplay is worth it.

  I'd pay 30$ US at most, I MIGHT want TF2, Portal for sure and HL2 EP2 I don't particularly care about.
  
  50$, no way - I'll just get it retail 1 week after it comes out on steam in a store for 30$ >:(

    I doubt you'd beat steam value by buying retail here in AU.
    
    Purchasing through steam in Australia is usually pretty damn good value. I remember buying HL2 through steam the day it became available for about AUD$70 or so, when I'm sure it would have been the full AUD$100 in stores.
