Valve's Team Fortress 2 Goes Free-To-Play

Posted by Soulskill on from the we're-seeing-which-way-the-wind-blows dept.

heptapod writes "Valve has announced that Team Fortress 2 is now free to play. 'We've been toying with the idea of making Team Fortress free-to-play ever since the Mann-conomy update [in September 2010],' said Valve's Robin Walker. 'Team Fortress 2 would only be monetized by microtransaction payments. No advertising model will be pursued, Walker said. No premium subscription model will be used. No cynical "pay-to-win" options will be implemented, he assured.'"

    However, you can add $5 to your Steam wallet, buy a Rocket Jumper for $0.99 and have $3.99 left to spend on Steam daily sale games.

    $5 - $0.99 = $3.99?

    I believe Steam approves of your arithmetic.

    He had to subtract his 2 cents for his thoughts.
