VALVE are sending me a nice little something

I'll gander a guess at either of these:

1) A press account/reviewer Steam account (all games for free, even locked ones)

2) A Valve figure i.e Heavy from TF2

3) Some paraphernalia like an actual valve

Usually you can send stuff to them where they'll sign it and send it back to you. Some guy even got a can of coke signed.

Unless it's a special case, it'll probably be some signed games and posters/Valve store stuff.
 
They actually had an official response about the directx thing a few months ago.

Something to do with not just checking that you have the latest version but also ensuring that the specific and maybe older versions of libraries/binaries required by the game are installed. Still even knowing that, its annoying, probably there more to stop hail of 'WHY MY GAME NO WORK' threads from the minority than to actually help most of us, but one things for sure its not going away any time soon.
