>if something is free, you're the product>f2p games are cancer>microtransactions suck (even if cosmetic)>lootcrates are badWhy does tf2 get a pass when it comes to this
It doesn't? I see people bitching about that shit all the time.
cause it was and still is good despite of it? when something is made great and goes to shit over time it still retains that hard great core, unlike something that was built shitty from the start
>>719515583Because it wasn't a free for several years.
you aren't hard required to make a purchase at any point just to play the game
air is free, whats the catch?
>>719515942What's the deal with free air?
>>719515583because when it first started it was novel and we didn't know any better, and at the very least the game is still very fun without spending any money. And I don't believe TF2 specifically steals any more of your data than steam itself does. So, its flaws can be readily ignored.
>>719515583Because TF2 is good and fun
>>719516032the deal is we have to not poison the planet completely.
>all these steamfags repliesits okay when valve does it
>>719516445how could we even possibly accomplish that? This isn't wall-e lmao
>>719515583It wasn't designed as a f2p
>Microtransactions are entirely optional (Yes even the cosmetic ones, case cosmetics suck)>TF2 isn't a free to play game, it's a full ass normal game>Ironically Valve managed to trap all the shitty cosmetics that retards that started playing the game after it went free to play can't cry that the artstyle fucking cosmetics are in their inventory without literally PAYING FOR THEM TO BE THEREAlso nobody "gives TF2 a pass for this", you, OP are in a long line of gay retards going back over a decade screaming in pant browning fury that the game refuses to die and/or hire youtubers to be full time marketers/Surrogate friends for emotional exploitation for the game like all the other slop out right now that nobody actually likes.
