Valve's Alien Swarm Dedicated Servers?

[blitztm]

Question for the entire community.

Is Valve going to release an Alien Swarm dedicated server? Today they are releasing this game for free, and it looks pretty fun. Do you think they'll release the dedicated server (at least for Windows) along side the client release?

Might, might not.
It is valve you will never know.

Correction, guess we will get it: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Swarm_Dedicated_Server

But it seems like we can only host "lobby" style

Valve has been lovin the lobby style lately.

Sadly, only Windows so far...

Oh well, it's a fun game, and it really doesn't take a lot of bandwidth, so I'm not too worried if I have to host a few games myself.
