That rumor that I've heard is that it will be a closed code distribution service. Meaning, you pay them a monthly fee and you can download/play Counterstrike, TFC, and whatever other mods. Or, you don't pay them and you just pay for each mod individually. Hopefully Valve will not pull a Nintendo and force all mods to be available only through Steam, to force people to pay lotsa money for what used to be an active free-mod market.
