First he needs to put on some lipstick and practice some ass kissing so he can get the patch put through.
SDK 2007 and another version (forgot which, replace another by "the other" if theres only one other) is supposed to be for free when Valve made TF2 F2P. Friend of mine who had no game using source engine whatsoever downloaded empires just last week. (He was like what the fuck, what shit do I own when he saw the steam tools page for the first time)
Maybe just valve reminding us THAT THEY HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER OUR ENTIRE STEAM GAMES COLLECTIONS!!!!
