In the immortal words of William Butler Yeats, "WHAT?"

Who doesnt own this all ready?

Also Steam has it listed as "Team Fortress 2 Free Week".

I doubt it will happen, but I hope they decide to give something to those who already own it.

Also, I wonder how many people who are not willing to pay $10 for the game will pay money for ingame items. Flawed logic?

Strangely enough, me I've added TF2 to cart more times than I care to admit, and for whatever reason I never pulled the trigger. If it's free, it's for me!

I don't own it. But it has more to do with my general unwillingness to venture into multiplayer FPSs.

But I see that something like this always comes up. "Everyone has a Wii already", "everyone has a DS". No, guys, a very small amount of people have a Wii and a DS, and probably Team Fortress. Don't extrapolate your good fortune to the whole world.

Maybe an attempt to expand the player base and retain current players by keeping the community/servers alive?

This has been confirmed in the Meet the Medic video. Also just posting this because I made a tf2 thread an hour ago and while this warrants another probably, let's keep it together.

Looks like I'm going to be trying out Team Fortress 2 for the first time tonight.

Forget confirmed in a video, it is big as heck all over the main steam page now!!
