All this retirement talk reminded me that Hasbro is going to retire one of the Monopoly tokens and replace it with a new one. Save the Top Hat \:v:/
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;39183868]All this retirement talk reminded me that Hasbro is going to retire one of the Monopoly tokens and replace it with a new one. Save the Top Hat \:v:/[/QUOTE] Does American and British Monopoly share the same pieces?
Valve, just why? Seriously, these are just virtual items and THERE IS NO WAREHOUSE WHERE YOU KEEP THOSE! It's virtual items, but they're symbolic. Making them impossible to obtain retroactively is just so bullshit, that a skunk's fart smells like flowers in comparison to the odor that shit makes.
I also want to ask, if they want to retire items, why not to retire "bald" hats ? Why retire classic 9 ones ?

Bald hats might be the next ones. Are they on the store though?
what if at the end of two weeks they were like "ok the hats are gone but we decided to sell a completely new line of hats; nine unique hats that have a scratch-and-sniff mayonnaise smell" and theyre just the same old hats with mayonnaise and raccoon scratches all over them, and the original hats all become vintage
Valve trolling at its finest :)

Some time ago each "bald" hat costed around $0.99, but then they high-priced them, now they cost $4.99.

What if valve is trolling? What if the items wont be removed and everybody ends up panic buying for nothing?

< insert jewish caricature here > [editline]12th January 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=ChowderBowl;39171537]Wow, they're trying hard as hell to get these starter hats up in price. First they removed them from the starter packs and replaced them with Name Tags, now they're just removing them outright.[/QUOTE] wait? they removed them from starterpacks? that's genuinely fucktarded
I have a few of these hats.
Hopefully it's just a troll post, just to piss people off for cheap laughs and profit of it. Maybe they won't retire any hats, maybe it's just a joke. But if it is a joke, it's not a funny one.
[QUOTE=John Smirnov;39182094]Because, Half-Life is series, they started working on back to 90's. Its a series of the classic games we love and respect. So much time passed after release of Episode Two and people begged VALVe to show at least something. While they just keep spamming with dumb ideas, Dota 2 is not even their own product, it was a mod for Warcraft 3 and after that pc-console. The main problem that they nova days is making ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that fans want them to do or just asking to. For example, nobody asked them to spam us with hats and after delete them from history (thanks at least for not deleteing them from bacpack and let people trade them !), nobody asked THEM to make Dota 2, nobody asked them to make that pc-console and no-fucking-body asked them to make Counter-Strike Online 2. They just spit in face of their community. [editline]11th January 2013[/editline] Yep, actually Counter-Strike Online 2 is developed bye Nexon Corporation like first one, but they need VALVe's assist and permission to do that. YEAH ! Nothing new or good ! THEY HAD A LOT OF GOOD CONCEPTS FOR EXAMPLE ! Thanks at least for artist who made them and posted on her twitter or facebook. So much goddamn time passed and they dont have even any news. You think its okay ? Yeah, Dota 2 will be free, but it will have cosmetic items, which A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BUY OF COURSE ! They turned in money suckers and community face spitters, like many other companies nova days. They dont give a shit about that, what fans want, they give a shit only about that what they want.[/QUOTE] People waited for around 12 years for TF2 to release, 6 years for EP3 isn't as long. Besides, there are good reasons they haven't shown anything of Episode 3 yet and the community doesn't decide what Valve does. Lots of people like hats, i've seen lots of people saying they want a Valve console and i'm sure a large amount of people wanted Dota 2. You not wanting them doesn't mean no one wanted them. Thinking that Valve are "money suckers and community face spitters" for updating their games and not having pay to win stuff like other companies is stupid. Would you prefer it if Dota 2 cost £30 instead of being free with OPTIONAL cosmetic items?

[QUOTE=Kapellmeister;39216590]Obviously because it's not done yet.[/QUOTE] So let me ask..if you do not want to give them what they want...WHY YOU TOOK AWAY that what they like ?
