Team Fortress 2 is a game that has been evolving since its release in 2007; look at The Orange Box on PS3 and PC and there’s a clear divide between the non-updated PS3 version and fully updated PC version.
So, what’s Valve’s next step for the PC version? Well, they’re making the entire game available for free, including all of the updates, on both PC and Mac. That’s right, you can get the full version of Team Fortress 2 for absolutely nothing and it seems Valve will only be making money from people buying in-game items.
There’s no advertising blocking the game, no upgraded service for premium members – TF2 will be truly free to all. This is astounding; TF2 is a full game that many people have been willing to pay for in the past and now everyone will get to experience it.
We highlighted Team Fortress 2 in our Cheap PC Gaming series, praising the amount of free DLC. So, now we can change that to ‘Free PC Gaming with even more free DLC on top’.
Is the free to play online shooter the way forward? It could well be, with this kind of support from Valve.
