Perhaps, but all of these things must be measured in the benefit to business. Does the performance between a 32-bit or 64-bit versions translate to a difference in sales? Are there user complaints sufficient that there is lost satisfaction to competitors large enough to offset the development and support burden from the investment in a 64 bit client? My guess is that the answer is "no" or Valve would have made this change already. These are the way businesses make these decisions.

He didn't answer your first question. I get the feeling you're right and he's the author.
