Now imagine if this was Activision or EA and everyone would be going batshit insane. Valve isn't the same fanboys get off your wagon and realize this.
[QUOTE=Lazor;30671543]and?
it's not like Valve stole 10 dollars from you.[/quote]
I'm not complaining, but they practically did steal 10 dollars from anyone that bought it recently. Hell, i'd be ok with this if they announced it months prior, but to do it so suddenly is just retarded.

actually i think the same people would be mad and the reasonable people would be...not mad?
[QUOTE=N.A.N.B;30671518]Wait, I just got the game when it counted as a free week. Would I still get the bonuses?[/QUOTE]
Anyone that paid is premium and all is the same, anyone that got it for free has only 50 item slots, can't gift items to others, has limited blueprints, and a lot of items aren't available to them.
Paid for it, long time ago, and all I get is a helmet. Sure, been great fun the past years, right? But paying 30$ for a ingame helmet? I don't know, could have bought other things for that. Weed? Someone should make a T-shirt or avatar saying, "Paid 30$, and all I got was a lousy pixel helmet."
TF2 is now the official game of steam. :saddowns:

Did you just come in here to say that because you have a secret love for Activision or EA or something, because if you haven't noticed yet people are going batshit insane (especially in the TF2 sub forum) and I can't imagine how bad it is on the steam forums.

Didn't you get the Orange Box?

you didn't pay $30 for a helmet, you payed $30 to play the game for years before it was made free

You missed my point. I'm directing that post towards FP since it seems a lot of people are trying to defend this.
but in the end I got a helmet
I just realized that TF2 makes CoD DLC mappacks look good.

You got the game and benefits over new players including experience.
We should have more people complaining about how they feel robbed and cheated. You guys are falling behind the Minecraft and Terraria fanboys.
Are you fucking kidding me? Are people [I]seriously[/I] bitching about this? People, including the very souls who bought the game themselves, fail to realize that TF2 is one of the best multiplayer games out there, and they are actually complaining about having paid for it. I originally paid $30 for it, and have no regrets. Not only that, but they also fail to realize that, in terms of overall features, the F2P version is far more lacking.
Besides, doesn't the fact that you paid money for it imply that you thought it was [I]worth[/I] that money? Or did a crazy armed maniac storm into your house and force you to purchase it at gunpoint?
Bottom line: if you're still pissed about it, don't blame Valve. Blame yourselves for not waiting for it to become free if the concept of paid software becoming free software bothers you. Too fucking bad; you should have waited.

My reaction in a nutshell.
And I want my money.

thats like buying a couch years ago, seeing it now and its shit, and you want your money back
shut the fuck up and stop bitching about the tiniest little things

Because we can totally see into the future and we will know that its going to be free, right?
:downs:
I didnt mind ArmA2 becoming free, because they didnt give you the WHOLE game, only the multiplayer, in the free version.
[QUOTE=Echidna666;30671701]Didn't you get the Orange Box?[/QUOTE]
No, I didn't. Paid 30$ when it came out. I do agree though, that yes, been playing it alot since back then. So I guess the money was well spent somewhere.
Is this really the biggest update? A bunch of class packs and a map...I feel like every few months they just go "- Added a shitload of items and maps just for giggles". I stopped seriously playing about a year ago and I can't even keep track of updates anymore.
[QUOTE=Araknid;30671869]Because we can totally see into the future and we will know that its going to be free, right?[/QUOTE]
Why did you buy it if you didn't think it was worth the money?
[QUOTE=Alexak75;30671911]Why did you buy it if you didn't think it was worth the money?[/QUOTE]
It was worth the money.
I'm implying that what you said was fucking retarded though, because there was no way for anybody to know that TF2 was going to become free.
And i know that some of my friends are going to be pissed, as some of them bought TF2 last week.

So what...you want them to just watch us play?
I love the people complaining who are also saying at the same time it was well worth the money.
Would you have the same response if Oblivion was released for free or something?
[QUOTE=Araknid;30671948]It was worth the money.
[/QUOTE]
So it was worth the money... yet you're still pissed about it becoming free?
:wtc:
Well now the idlers are gonna be happy, now they can create as many accounts as they want, idle and trade all the 'profit' to their main account...
I'm happy that more people get to play the game but for some reason I feel sad that it went free
will you entitled assholes quit bitching
this is wonderful, friends will now be less adverse to playing TF2 now that it's free, Meet the Medic is out, new weapons/hats, and anyone who bought the game prior has a premium account.
if you could stop being such negative babies about every single thing that valve does with THEIR GAME, things would be a lot nicer.
don't want to play with people who have "better" weapons? go play on a vanilla server.
don't like people with hats? suck it up, they're cosmetic items that do absolutely nothing but give the player a false sense of entitlement.
don't like TF2 anymore? [B]then don't fucking play it.[/B]
bought orange box for 50 plns (~12 euros) years ago. I had the best moments of gaming ever - amazing, unique games. I'd actually love to pay more, because Valve really deserves more. And I can't wait to tell my friends so they can leave blops and play with me!
This thread is making my dick wet.
[QUOTE=iNova;30670477]Hey, at least they get a lot of restrictions.[/QUOTE]
what the fuck
are you guys saying you would be happy if there were more restrictions on people who can't or don't want to pay?
fuck, you guys are huge elitest assholes.
This thread is full of psychics. Predictions of whiny six year olds and hackers all over the place.
Well, this lets my friend who couldn't afford it play it. :v: Maybe my brother will play it too...
