Hahaha this takes me back. My first purchases in 2011 were a few TF2 weapons. I got my account a short time after it went F2P.

You bought weapons?? In the mann co store?

[–] Abnorc@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

lol yes. I did it a few times before I realized that it’s not a good way to get weapons. Only lost a few bucks.

Edit: Should clarify, my parents bought them.

TF2 is free to play ??

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It is now. It wasn't at first.

It was part of the Valve Orange Box and that was a big deal at the time. There was also a huge deal of whining from people who paid for it when Valve announced they were changing it to a free to play model.

Ok I see. yea my memory is of the orange box, on xbox. Or was it the 360 ?
