I believe it was Portal. The year before that was The Orange Box.

Portal was free on autumn 2011 source
I can't find any source/article for The Orange Box giveaway. Do you remember it correctly?
AFAIK, Valve has just made giveaway for L4D2 and Portal up to now. I just want to point out that making giveaway is not Valve's annual event. But, let's hope, maybe Half-life (1998) or L4D1 will be free this year ;)

I'm not 100% sure on 2012 as I'm going by second hand info, but I do remember getting a voucher of some kind for The Orange Box during the holiday sale in 2011, which was how I ended up with the Half-Life 2 games.

Last year, 25th December, L4D2 was free for 24 hours.

The store got overloaded & kept crashing but I got it at the end after a few tries

It's not gonna be a game that was already at a featured sale. I remember I was waiting for L4D2 to get a daily discount last year and then they made it free. So not Portal, but could be another one. I would like CS:S.

If it happens, it probably will be exactly for 24 hours. And all info I can find on previous xmas-Gaben-Gaben is that L4D2 was free until 10AM PST 12/26. So, if something like this happens again this year, it's probably on the morning of the 25th.

Not everybody got Gems. I looked and in my inventory, I think I would have ended up with about 200 gems MAX, so I wasn't eligible for "free" games from the gems auctions, given the ridiculous amount of gems the games went for

They gave a game on Christmas once. Left 4 Dead 2 last year. Portal was given away sometime in summer 2011 and other games were given by the publishers (Payday, Sniper Elite 2 & others). I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Why would they give us a free game? Yes, they've given away some games for free, but they don't have to. I think we won't get any game for free.

I think we should get ALL THE GAMES EVER! for free.. but that is just my well researched and respected opinion!

I don't see any problem with your reasoning. Free games for everyone! Also free food! If governments can print money, then why is there still poverty ANYWHERE on the world??? Follow me into a better future!

This year instead of getting a free game, Valve takes away a game instead for our own safety.

They have already done L4D2 and Portal 1. They won't do CS:GO because it is competitive, still sells A LOT and will increase hackers.

I think it will be Half-Life 2.

Other possibilities are Portal 2 and Half-Life 1.

I would be really happy with a "game of your choice" coupon that works on "classic" Valve games, or something like that. HF 2 would be great, but I already own it, so I'd be much happier with HL 1 or Garry's mod :)

If I'm not wrong, Garry's mod is not from Valve.

Just checked, Valve is indeed only the publisher, Facepunch Studios is it's developer :)

Yeah also possible, but I think making hl2 free and the 2 episodes on a sale makes more sense.

It smells like Valve wants to drain from us (their mad cash cows) more and more money so i believe we'll all get a huge, unique and worthy piece of **** for our support on them.
