    Yeah I was kinda bummed when I heard about it. I bought the game a couple months ago lol. If only I had waited, I could've saved like 10 dollars.

    The money isn't the issue for me. The fact that you had to buy the game prevented hackers from well... Hacking the game. Now that it's free, you can just make another account and f*ck everyone up with hax/item scams. No consequences if you get banned on the account, you just make another and repeat the same shit.

    Probably the most profitable decision Valve has made, but they have effectively killed their great game, and slapped the community in the face as well.

    Could be wrong though. Time will tell.

    "Free to play" makes it sound like it was once a subscription-based service.

    I just got this one, and I'm loving it. I got Portal when Valve made it free as well, and it ended up being one of my favorite games of all time, and this one's really good. I didn't seem to have all of the download issues as you guys, mine finished in about an hour or so. Anyways, what are your guys' favorite classes? Mine are the engineer and pyro.

    I usually play as a spy. Occasionally as a demoman. What are your steam names? I need people to add lmao. Maybe we could get a TouchArcade Team Fortress clan going on.

    Yeah it might take awhile to download because their is a crapload of other people trying to download the game too. This is probably going to be the most populated f2p fps on the pc.

    From their Free to Play FAQ:
    Hopefully these "systems" will work.
