Valve And EA Confirm Retail Distribution Agreement for Portal 2

EA has been publishing Valve’s games at retail brick-and-mortar stores since 2007’s The Orange Box.

Doug Lombardi says the game will be backed by a “first-class launch campaign”, and that Portal 2 will represent “most innovative title in the company’s history.”

  1. What did Valve use to distribute retail before 2007? (Half Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source etc).

  2. Good news. I’m unable to buy games directly from Steam, so it’s nice to know that the retail version will be there for certain.
