Tf2=F2P.... Wow. That's a gutsy move for Valve! TF2 has been out for 4-plus years, so I can see why it might qualify, but it's kind of been Valve's biggest game. Many new big-ticket games have had TF2 incentives, like the Killing Floor gas mask and the Sam and Max hat/gun, which leads me to believe that TF2's popularity is a major driving force for other developers to get out some pseudo-word-of-mouth advertising to the hordes of gamers who play. But still, is it really so popular that there's not enough non-players left to continue to make a profit off the $9.99 sticker price? Or is Valve just doing this out of the kindness of their hearts/ easier to garner more advertisement interest from a larger gaming population? (Or has the crate key/TF2 store concept not gone as well as Valve had hoped?)

And does this mean we'll have no more class updates?



Also, the Meet the Medic movie reminds me once again why Valve is so awesome. Seriously Valve, I love you.

Verily. I really hope they keep making videos after Meet the Pyro is said and done.

And today marks the day I will never be able to find a Brazilian server to play in again.

Actually, Valve's most consistently popular game according to Steam stats is... Counterstrike 1.6.

Followed by CS:S.


I've never played either. :dance:

Meet The Medic was amazing

Also, way to shred any misconceptions about the MEdic being benevolent.

"Kill me." "Later"

or

"Vait. It gets better. Ven ze patient woke up, his skeleton vas missing, and ze doctor vas never heard from again! [...] Anyvay, zat's how I lost my medical license"

But the best line was
"Doctor! Are you sure this will work!?" "I HAVE NO IDEA!!!"

Wait, wait. wait... You thought the medic was benevolent? DEAR GOD MAN! I knew from the beginning that he would be the MOST insane.

That doesn't count the uh, probably millions of Brazilians that pirate it.

Personally I just liked how the pyro was playing with a lighter while waiting.

On it being free to play

For one most people that would get it, have gotten it. Or to be more exact those that would pay for it. This hopes to bring in those that are curious, but not enough to put money into it. What do they get out of it?

Well let me ask you this, how much does it cost to buy a single hat from the Mann Co Store?

You can get a random paint for, I think, £0.59. That apparently suffices to boost your account up to Premium.

No, minimum amount of money you can deposit in the Steam wallet is $5.
