Team Fortress 2 is now free to play “forever”

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 rumoured 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.

    Team Fortress 2 is the best game I’ve ever played. Over the last three
    and a half years I’ve clocked up 666 hours on Badwater and Dustbowl.
    I’ve stabbed, shot, cloaked, crafted, traded and unlocked my way to a
    backpack full of awesome weapons and hats. Where Team Fortress 2 is now,
    with its ridiculous weapons, headgear and recipes, is a long way from
    the lean multiplayer shooter it launched as.

    at first i hated TF2 because they took away my beloved concussion
    grenade. then i actually played the game and fell in love all over
    again. i bought this on release for a computer that couldn’t really run
    it(my TFC machine at the time). only about 6 months ago did i finally
    manage to really start playing this, and i have to say while the whole
    crafting system and crap was a huge shock for me(i thought this would
    ruin any balance the game had) It seems i jumped the gun a little, as
    this game is truly fun and i have never felt at a disadvantage due to
    gear.

    it’s a shooter that takes cartoon into killing with its special charters and cartoonie feel to the game but still with that thrill of getting the kill. This game is also great for playing with your friends becasuse i’ts more of a team game then just a stand alone and also the trading in it you can trade items and weapons with other people and buy upgrades for guns and items for your characters and u can also get items by playing the game with other people on servers and also some items and guns you cant find in game while playing.
