Heh, I was gunna buy it but a friend gifted it to me ages ago during a sale.
[QUOTE=DesolateGrun;30670738]Great, so I payed the full price a few months ago for nothing. Just fucking great.
Great[/QUOTE]
The games price a few months ago was pretty cheap, $15 or something? Who cares
[QUOTE=lew06;30670525]It's okay Valve, I don't mind everyone else getting for free what I and many others paid for :smith:[/QUOTE]
It is kind of a dick move. On one hand, the game is now opened to many that it wasn't before, but for those of us who actually spent money on it, it is a slap to the face.
They didn't even give those who owned it before a special gift or any recognition.
[QUOTE=Aperture fan;30670428]That also means that all online games will be 10 times as [I]un[/I]fun thanks to the almost sure to be massive influx of 6 year olds whos mommies wouldn't buy it for them before.[/QUOTE]
What six year old is going to play a PC game?

Yeah they did, read the FAQ before complaining
We all get a free hat and a premium account which means released content is free for us.

You get a hat for Proof of Purchase.

Mute the annoying kids and don't read chat if any of the messages are annoying. No sense complaining because there are already a lot of angry people and little kids in Team Fortress 2 and in just about every online game that is popular.
Also, a lot of the new guys have to worry about being not nearly as good as the players who started from the beginning or near the beginning.
Edit: Why do you dislike me so much, Appox?
Valve just opened the floodgates for hackers.
Now when people get VAC banned, they'll just make a new account every time.

here's your gift: you got to play it for years rather than waiting all that time for it to be made a free game
If we get 'Premium' account only servers then I'll be very fucking happy.

They've anticipated that and are prepared for that.

I just saw that as I read more of the article through the links in the op.
And I didn't say that I minded them making it free to play, I think it is great that more people get a chance to play it.

Alot of the people in my LAN party don't have it because we're poor college students. Now there isn't an excuse.
i don't play tf2 anymore but it doesn't seem that bad. awesome for lan parties.
"Q. Won’t going Free to Play mean more griefers and cheaters?
We’re increasing our focus on making sure that hostile players can’t ruin your fun. Specifically, we’ll be keeping a close eye on players exploiting the ability to make infinite free accounts to bypass bans. We’ve built systems that’ll allow us to measure and track what these players are doing, and respond quickly."
Hopefully they keep this promise. Seems like they have really thought this whole transition through.
Don't worry guys! If you bought the game before, you get a nice hat proving your purchase. It's all good, that's your purchase money right there.
Wow! People can be able to enjoy a game I play without buying it like me! Even though this may be great for the community! I won't have it!
Bunch of fucking whiners.

And all the hours of gameplay that you get out of it....
I've nearly logged 600 hours out of 19 dollar purchase.

$20. $19.99 is basically $20.
[QUOTE=Swilly;30671161]Does it matter?
My point still stands :v:[/QUOTE]
Nah, I just felt like saying.
Fun fact, I guess.

MY 10 DOLLARS

Money is money.
What the fuck. Seriously, fuck Valve.
[QUOTE=jota de;30671438]What the fuck. Seriously, fuck Valve.[/QUOTE]
Why?
I don't mind. I bought it with the Orange Box for 20 bucks, the other games in the pack are worth well more so it balances out.
[QUOTE=Echidna666;30671471]Why?[/QUOTE]
Because now they're gonna act like entitled three year olds because more people can play.
Wait, I just got the game when it counted as a free week. Would I still get the bonuses?
I want my fucking money back, unless they make people who ACTUALLY PAID for the game get some sort of advantage.

.....Really?
How much did you play it?
I mean I understand if you played it sometimes and want your money back but for those who got 200+ hours you really shouldn't be crying.
[QUOTE=CertainDOOM;30671381]Money is money.[/QUOTE]
and?
it's not like Valve stole 10 dollars from you.

if you bought the game you get the bonuses
[QUOTE=Echidna666;30671471]Why?[/QUOTE]
Are you serious? Every last server is going to be full, and there's going to be EVEN MORE annoying children in the community. Plus, it worries me that DOTA 2 will have the same future.
