There is only one word to describe this event.
Though admittedly I did say it many times.

What about people who spent money on it? seems kind of unfair...
Unless you've spent money on it within the last week or so, I'd say it's a non-issue. I mean, even from day one this game only cost $20 if you consider that the Orange Box was $60 for three games.
I guess.
I got the orange box as a gift on steam from a friend, i even told him about everything that just happened and he didn't even cared about refunds or Valve paying him back or anything.
So i guess its safe to say most people who actually bought the thing think the same. lol
Also , Meet the medic was BEATIFUL.

I believe this is appropriate:
That is pehaps the best "Meet the Team" short yet. Now all that's left is to wait for the game to update.

Also, free to play = lots of newcomers for me to backstab. Sounds good to me.
Suitable response. *giggles like a little schoolgirl*

This'll be awesome, no doubt. Lots o' newbs and that video...

Probably the best thing since last I played TF2... An hour ago.

Valve aren't that big of dicks, they'll give something to all the people who paid for it originally. If they don't I'll be pissed off but it's not really gonna change anything for me.

That video pretty much made my day. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Although, I'm a little nervous about the Medic's defibrillator. Medics can now revive for 25% of an ubercharge bar.

Premium accounts, which include anyone who has bought items off Mann Co and original purchasers, get an expanded backpack (300-1000 items from 50), access to rare item drops, full blue-prints, and full access to trades. Free accounts basically just get a stripped down version of what everyone has had so far.

It's cool... but damn is there an explosion on the F2P video of dislikes of people feeling ripped off.

I sure don't. I bought it like a year ago and have had way too much enjoyment to feel unsatisfied. But a lot of people are feeling entitled to a full refund now with the dislike bomb on the F2P video.

Meet the Medic was funny like no other...then I saw that TF2 was free to play and I ran outside to see if the world had ended and we all made it to heaven.

Well it didn't happen but it's nice to see that my favorite game is free now. Lets see how many of my friends I can rope into this!

F2P...Awesome. Meet the Medic? Awesome. I paid for it...eh, I still got my monies worth. No complaints. However for me, the big news (Short of the awesome new Meet the Team video) is that servers are going to be flooded now with newbies playing for the first time who will be a lot of fun to light on fire. Might need to play again.

Oh sweet, I can get an account for my girlfriend then. Yay!

Also, Meet the Medic is easily Valve's finest video. Awesome.

It's been dirt cheap for a long time. That's cool, though. I haven't played in three our four months and think I am done with the game. But it gave me somewhere between 200 and 300 hours of fun. Considering I don't like any other FPS (unless you count Metroid Prime), that quite an achievement.

Kind of annoying because I only got this game a year ago, but good news to the 8 people who had a serious intrest in TF2, but refused to shell out the $10.00 it costs. :/

Noobs though. Finally I can play with people considerably worse then me! ^.^

I must say, a smart move on Valves part, will definitely bring in new suckers players. I am not to sad that I'm not going to be getting a refund, after all, I did get to play the game for 2 years before the inevitable flood of new players swarm the servers. Knowing Valve though, it is likely that a shiny new promo hat will be adorning my backpack soon.

Industry trade website Develop-Online has revealed in an interview with Valve?s Robin Walker that Team Fortress 2 is now permanently free to play, and will solely be supported by in-game item purchases.

TF2′s switch to F2P was rumored and expected, but perhaps not this soon. Walker says that Valve had been exploring the idea since September 2010. ?We?ve been toying with the idea of making Team Fortress free-to-play ever since the Mann-conomy update,? Walker said. ?The data we got back from that update leads us to believe that TF2 would be more successful as a completely free product.? Read the rest of the interview with Walker at Develop-Online.

Prior to today, Team Fortress 2 was in the middle of a ?free week.? The game?s Über Update should deploy later this evening.
