And let's be realistic, this is going to sell an absolute crapload of HL2 to a whole new generation of gamers.

I don't think so. HL2 is an old game by now, way older than HL1 was when HL2 came out (6 years from HL1 to Hl2, 19 years from HL2 to now) and I just don't see it appealing to players unless they're going back to view older games.
They make 30% on almost every PC video game sale in the west. Even if they sell 10 million copies of HL2 tomorrow, it's only going to move their bottom-line marginally.
And that's ignoring the fact that HL2 is 90% off right now ($1) and they're giving away HL1 for free.
No. Valve just does whatever Valve wants.
