	~~Cause it sucks~~!		'''Portal is Free''' is a video which was released by [[Valve]] on May 13, 2010 in order to promote ''[[Portal 2]]''. The video takes the form of an [[Aperture Science\|Aperture Laboratories]] information video, which advertises the existence of a "free Portal kit" (the original ''[[Portal]]''). The purpose of the video was to bring attention to the fact that ''Portal'' was made available for free on Steam for a brief period, in order to promote the future release of ''Portal 2''.
