There are suggestions floating about that once Steam and HL2 get going that HL2 will move to a pay-as-you-play billing format for online play. I wouldn't have give this much thought, except that the slide show presentation at the Game Developers Conference in 2002 listed this as a feature of Steam. It seems a little unlikely that Valve would add the feature to Steam if there were no future plans to use it.
Would someone at Valve like to clarify if this is in fact the case?
