I just added the newest bundlestars set to Steam, and was looking at my uninstalled game list - when amongst the games for they keys I just entered out of nowhere I noticed I now have sitting in my library:

Day of Defeat: Source
Half Life 2: Deathmatch
Half Life 2: Lost Coast

Anyone else ever have something like that happen to them?

edit: they show up on my account/games list on the Steam website too. Odd

Install ASAP?

I got those two Half Life 2 games show up as well recently. I think it just automatically adds it if you have some combination (or all) of HL2, Episode 1 and 2. I had bought Episode 1 before I saw it happen. Honestly, those two are more tech-demos than anything else.

I don't have any Half-life games on my account other than the original which shows up in my library, which is only a partial download and not playable. It's part of the required files to run CS:CZ.

Have you tried actually installing and playing them?

I know when I got Deathmatch: Source from a friend that Half-Life: Source appeared in my library but I couldn't install it, it said "Purchase" where the "Install/Play" button is.

If you can actually install and play them, then that's awesome and maybe Gaben has a secret crush on you. ~_O

Yea they all work.

What you are describing in your post is exactly how the original Half-Life is in my library, because I own CS/CS-CZ.

"Steam will automatically confirm the presence of ATI RadeonT hardware and then enable immediate access to full versions of the games free of charge."

No forms required, it was automatic. You must be reading something else.

Turns out I was wrong. You didn't need to fill out a form. But it was not automatic since you needed to visit the page, dingus.

Where does it say you needed to visit that page to get the games?

"Where does it say you needed to visit that page to get the games?"
"Effective immediately, all owners of ATI Radeon graphics cards may receive a free copy of Half-Life® 2: Lost Coast and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch via Steam, http://www.steampowered.com/ati_offer1a/"

I get it that you're new to Steam, but stop being so dense. The only way Steam figures out your hardware is through the hardware surveys, and even then it doesn't give you any free games. How do I know? Because this is how I got those games years back. All you have to do is google the url and you'll find people backing my statement.

Steam isn't an intrusive software just so you know.

You're absolutely wrong. All you had to do was have steam installed and running. And then: "Steam will automatically confirm the presence of ATI Radeon hardware and then enable immediate access to full versions of the games free of charge."

You can keep throwing out insults and completely misinterpreting what the page says, but it will not change the fact that you are wrong.

This is coming from a user who didn't use steam at the time and didn't do the offer therefore had no idea how the process worked.

That would be an assumption, and an incorrect one at that. Just because account is from 2011 doesn't mean I never had a steam account before that date.

You might wanna check your account details page, to see if you got these games recently or perhaps a long time ago and didn't notice.

If you bought Counter Strike Source it's normal. I've got DoD:S too. I bought it and I get it too.
Half - Lifes the same. Just you've got a CS:S copy with keys to this games.

I didn't get HL1 for free either, it just shows up as a stuck partial download in your library if you have CS:CZ installed.

O I C something now.
I never actually bought this, but it looks like somehow my CS:Source (the only one I have anyway and that's what it says in my account history) somehow turned into a http://store.steampowered.com/sub/42/
... and then Lost Coast come with any HL2 game free.

It's always been like this if you bought the retail version. The CSS MP Package was my first game on Steam - back in 2006.

Repeating yourself doesn't make your false statement any more right. Even now those games are still not free. Just take a look at the store. I bought those games around the same time I bought TF2 back then (yes it wasn't always free).

Well, HL2: The Lost Coast was a free addon if you own HL2, it was a short little map showing off some (what were at the time) new effects or something when it came out

Few days ago, there was 75% off for Half life collection. So I bought HL2, HL2 episode 1 & 2.
And I also have in my library HL deathmatch source, HL2:deathmatch and HL2:lost coast that I didn't buy.
I don't know why.
