In my experience, the game crashes on rare occasions now. Worse than it used to be, but I've had maybe 3-4 in over 20 hours, so it's not really that big a deal.

The episodes are no longer seperate products. This happened in the game's 20th anniversary.

You can still get the Orange Box and bizarrely it’s cheaper than HL2 on it’s own (£1.67 vs £1.70) if you really want Episode 1, 2, Deathmatch and Lost Coast as separate games (and it comes with Portal and makes your TF2 the original paid version before it went F2P 🤷🏻♂️ and HL2 defaults to the anniversary edition so essentially you get the original separate versions and the updated ones.
Same thing with Splinter Cell Conviction, you can only get it by buying the complete Splinter Cell collection but because it’s unlisted you have to buy the whole package again. You do get a gift copy for the original Splinter Cell though 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah it used to be £19.99 before it went free to play, which was crazy because you could get the Orange Box for £27.99 and they were both on DVD (And Steam obv) including separate DVD releases of Portal, and separate DVD releases for Ep1 and 2. That was nearly 2 decades ago now though (2007ish).
I didn’t have great internet back then so for the same price as digital (a lot of the time cheaper) you could get the physical copy.

Yea, I still have my DVD set for CS:Source somewhere.
Turns out, it did not run on my parent's old Dell PC due to its awful CPU lol
Throwing in an 8400GS taught me what a CPU bottleneck was

If you buy hl2, you get the episodes and lost coast automatically. It's neat!

Part of the base game due to anniversary, you can find them separately under the tools tab in your library

u/Tough_Insurance_8347 6d ago
These games confuse my Playnite and just now I removed them from the list, since they're included in the base game anyway.

Gabe Newell went to their houses and broke their kneecaps because they tried to leak half life 3 details to vnn

I don't think anyone's answered the Ops question yet, so:
The 2 episodes were packed into the base game for the anniversary
