Not surprising.
Their competitors, sans GoG aren't doing a whole lot to court users to their services. Smart business model, and making a killing from what they do. With some titles doing the whole Steamworks thing, you wonder how Steam is splitting the profits. If its a 70-30 split on a $49.99 or $59.99 game....They are doing very, VERY well for themselves.
By the end of the year, Valve will of had 4 major releases on their system that should of yielded huge profits - Battlefield Bad Company 2, Civilization V, Fallout: New Vegas, and Call of Duty: Black Ops. Given how the first 3 have sold, and how Modern Warfare 2 sold on Steam.....Gabe has to be a happy and rich man.

unfortunately this means they can take as long as they want to release the next Half-Life chapter as they won;t be short of money for a long time, it is probably in a Duke Nukem Forever situation right now where they have no financial reason to release so they just keep adding more content and new features...

except DNF wasn't really adding features :p

oh they were up to the point where they would see a new engine and scrap all the work they had done and start over...
