Team Fortress 2 - Now Free to Play!

It has been announced that Team Fortress 2 is now permanently free to play!

In an interview with Develop-Online Valve's Robin Walker stated that, based on data they got back from their "Mann-conomy update", TF2 would be "more successful as a completely free product".  You can read the complete interview here.


If you have not played TF2, there is now absolutely nothing holding you back from downloading and trying it out.  Those that enjoy it will now have completely free access to a heavily supported product with a very strong community.

To coincide with their conversion to the free to play model, Valve has released a new trailer.  Check it out!

Great news, but I demand a refund!

"TF2 would be "more successful as a completely free product""
Would be true of most things

Yeah, I think the free to play model is definitely viable for a lot of games. I think, over time, we will see more and more developers adopting this strategy.
