TF2 is now free-to-play - Games

If this is true then [img]http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o22/niqua230/GiFS/ok3lf7.gif[/img] Honestly the community is bad enough at times with people who've paid money for the game, bringing in the idiots who don't think the game is worth the money is just gonna make me go off TF2 for good.

I'm down for the free keys thing.

I want my fucking money back.

[QUOTE=GÃ©za!;30667075]The article is said to be fake[/QUOTE] Thank god, I imagined how F2P tf2 can be, and there were boosted players, the horror

hilarious they should convert however much we paid for TF2 into store credit so I can buy all the items as soon as the update goes live

WHAT ABOUT TEH HAX VALVE? THEY'LL B EVERYWERE

I've sent an email to Robin, don't expect a reply any time soon but I'll post it when I get an answer.

Oh thank God it's only a week. If Valve seriously did give it for free, I'd be so fucking pissed, I would have demanded my money back.

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;30667134]If this was real, people who bought it better get free keys for life.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Daimao;30667056]What about the people who paid money for this game?

[QUOTE=NeoDement;30667292]hilarious they should convert however much we paid for TF2 into store credit so I can buy all the items as soon as the update goes live[/QUOTE] I'm personally gonna sit back and drink all the delicious tears of elitist kids who think this is gonna ruin their game

I said it'd degrade the community even further, not once did I ask for free shit.

tl;dr: bitchy elitests I don't see what the big deal is, it's a fucking four year old game, Valve wants to appeal to new audiences, and they should be.

I knew something was up. This free week was handled very differently than the other free weekends.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;30667345]and spending hundreds of hours of manpower on developing entirely free new weapons[/QUOTE] Are you trying to suggest it takes a great deal of time to add attributes to weapons like the Eviction Notice and Liberty Launcher?

[QUOTE=ned_ballad;30667376]I knew something was up. This free week was handled very differently than the other free weekends.[/QUOTE] They tend to do free weekends or even give the game away for free at the larger updates. I suppose this makes sense considering its one of the last big updates we'll see.

I'm okay with this - TF2 was a little addon when I bought the orange box.

I'm fine with this as long as they give us something in return.

[QUOTE=SomeDumbShit;30667418]They tend to do free weekends or even give the game away for free at the larger updates.

[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;30667345]yeah man valve really owe us for spending ten dollars on a game four years ago!! they should give us something cool like adding new features to the game and spending hundreds of hours of manpower on developing entirely free new weapons and hats and OH WAIT[/QUOTE] Hats ruined the game for me, but I stopped playing and complained once about it because I know how people are when they hear whining. The updates were forced into the game, so I had no choice to play it. No one asked for updates. It's like you asking for a cheezeburger, and I throw in some fries, and you eat the fries, but want a refund for the burger, and me saying "The fries made up for the burger;No refunds". I want my money back.

They're going to make so much money from the hats...

[QUOTE=kwk;30667467]I want my money back.[/QUOTE] too bad you agreed to the Steam EULA

great now i will wait 1 hour to join a server because every server will be full thanks to this stupid idea

[QUOTE=NeoDement;30667292]hilarious they should convert however much we paid for TF2 into store credit so I can buy all the items as soon as the update goes live[/QUOTE] That I would not mind.

Well the only thing that saddens me about this is a MASSIVE wave of idiots coming in the game attracted by the FREE sign.
