I don't have a problem with TF2 being free, I just think it was stupid of Valve to give everyone a hat. It just seems like Valve said: "Well, I bet some TF2 players will be angry about this decision, let's just give everybody a hat and they'll stop complaining." I mean, haven't they learned from the Gibus that giving everyone the same hat is stupid? It'd been cool if they gave everyone some metal, so we could either craft a hat if we wanted or craft some of the new weapons.

I'm glad it's going free to play, more players more updates. Poeple can actually see how fun the game is aswell.
i will never love VALVe less than i loved her the first time i saw her.
[QUOTE=Neddy;30676819]What is the 'Team Fortress 2 - Premium DLC' ? (listed in the DLCs). Have valve not announced what the premium is yet?[/QUOTE] Premium is regular TF2. Everyone who bought it, has it by default. The free version has restrictions on items.
You got to play it before it was ruined and 4 years before the new people. Shut the hell up, you got your money's worth.
I think the developers at Valve that work on TF2 are like model railroaders: at first, they made the whole rail line and everything, then they started to get obsessed with the little tiny details because they were having fun making little trinkets for their creations. Now, they're like the 45 year-old guy sitting in his basement whispering about hats.

One things for sure, the intelligence of the average player will plummet rapidly in the coming days.
I really do love the way Valve is handling the free accounts. It does annoy me a tad how someone could have all the privaledges as someone who payed $20 for the game just by buying a $0.49 item from the Mann Co. Store, but it's not that big of a deal. Personally, instead of this hat, which I most likely will not wear, prefering my currently owned hats, a coupon to use in the Mann Co. Store. The coupon could be worth about $10. But that's just me.
[QUOTE=Neddy;30676719]But wouldn't you want aleast something to say 'i bought this game'?[/QUOTE] Youhave the Proof of Purchase, and the Grizzled Veteran if you bought it on Release Day.

I got TF2 on the Orange Box when it was on sale for $10 so I figure I didn't really pay that much for such a great experience. I'm not unhappy with Valve.
I wonder if my medal will change to the silver one after a couple of years
I don't know whats bad about F2P. If anything, it's hilarious. Seeing children scream over the mic because their attempts at knifing my sentry aren't working.
you sir, are a huge fucking retard.
I'll just repeat what I said in the other thread- I find it funny you're all upset about TF2 being free to play. TF2 has been cheap for so long (not including the amount of times they've dropped the price to under $5) that the game may as well be F2P. Extending on that you all go "HURR THE AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE WILL BE LOWER NOW". No, the intelligence in TF2 is already at an all time low and you're already there. Stop whining and get your head out of your arse and either continue playing or quit. Or make your own very similar game to compensate. Because yknow, you clearly can :v:
Guys guys guys. When did videogames become so serious that a method of introducing new players to a game became a bad thing. Or do you guys only deem a player 'intelligent' or useful when they've played for 1000 hours and got a hat for every class?

Oh boo hoo your money has become worthless. Big woop. Valve has given you free maps, weapons, "Meet the..." trailers, and hats (despite what you think about them, they started off pretty nice. Really, they're only ruined by the morons who take them so seriously). Valve are simply trying out a new business model, and they can support it through the Mann-Co. Store and Steam. If anything, they're doing a good by giving it to people who cannot afford it. (Yes I realise they're a business sush.) You simply feel that because you spent money on the game that you deserve to be treated better. You spent your money, no one could have predicted at the time that Valve would do this. Just make your peace with it. Also Mic-Spammers can be muted through the game I hope you do realise that.

I think LCMeyer(N-Ve) is making a point about how TF2 will be flooded with Brazilians.

[QUOTE=Neddy;30676483]You call adding shitty hats and custom crap dedication? The class updates were ok. But the rest was useless shit.[/QUOTE] "waaaaaah, they added stuff in their game to keep it running, why do they not care about us?" Seriously, what the fuck kind of logic is that? And quit bitching, you bought it 4 YEARS ago, with more and more FREE updates, which will keep coming by the way. Oh, more cosmetic items, how useless. BETTER THAT THAN FUCK ALL! IF THEY DIDN'T ADD ANYTHING AT ALL, THEN I WOULDN'T SAY A THING! But they did, every week/month they added FREE stuff. And you COMPLAIN?
[QUOTE=New Cidem;30682926]One things for sure, the intelligence of the average player will plummet rapidly in the coming days.[/QUOTE] it sure dropped a few days ago
[QUOTE=JLea;30676493]Valve fans have the biggest sense of entitlement it's so weird.[/QUOTE] For people who claim that Valve is the best and friendliest game company, it's so ironic I could cry. It's like taking everything for granted.
[QUOTE=Neddy;30676449]Hey, Well as of 23rd of June team fortress 2 has been free to play. As a dedicated buyer who bought the game on release date for full release date price Im a seriously pissed. The game i payed full price for is now completely free. What do you get valve? No Special Hat as a dedicated buyer? No Refund for the price I payed? No Respect for having bought it on release?. Valve. You ran team fortress 2 repeatly into the ground. With your shitty attempts to impress me.Hats? Hopeless custom crap?. You have just lost alot of my respect. Please share your thoughts on the matter Fellow facepunchers. May the kids of steam download your game and spam our servers with there useless mic spam. Today... Is the death of team fortress 2.. What is left of it.[/QUOTE] Shut the fuck up you stupid shit. You don't get a fucking cookie for SPENDING MONEY ON A VIDEOGAME.
Valve has given you free updates for 4 years and a great game and now you complain that they are being even nicer by letting other people play free of charge. People can be so ungrateful.
