This is interesting. I am a Half-Life fan and I was unable to purchase Half-Life 2 via Steam because they do not support Switch/Maestro (I had to buy retail). I hear that Valve will not be releasing some of their products (
<span style="font-style: italic;">Aftermath</span> in particular) via retail at least for sometime, however I have also heard that they are considering Paypal as a method of purchasing via Steam. Do you think, armed with only a Switch/Maestro, that this will be a viable and safe method of purchasing future Valve products?
