My impression was that they started the project by porting Left4Dead, but decided to release TF2 (probably because it's F2P and so anyone can test it).

TF2 also has microtransactions so it will also earn them money in the short AND long run as well.

Quite a smart business decision and I'm glad they brought TF2 over - I always thought this would be the first game to publicly release.

It was also the first game they brought over for the mac port, though I think that was before the in-game store.

Wasn't that Portal, which I got for free at that time?
